You'll need to install grub2 using a livecd.
Here is what to do:
1. Boot LiveCD with Ubuntu and open the terminal.
2. Type "sudo fdisk -l" that is an L
3. Type "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" (you'll need to check if it id sda1, thats your ubuntu partition)
4. Type "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda"
5. Type "sudo update-grub"
Let me know what happens

edit that file.
Adding onto this, you should see a part of text in that file that looks like this, pretty simple:
Code:
## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout 10Edit the timeout in seconds (10 as default).
