Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and used unetbootin to successfully install Ubuntu 10.04 server onto another partition.
Originally using Grub, this install updated to Grub2 using the defaults.
Now I wanted to do this again onto a separate hard disk.
Unetbootin appeared to work but on reboot there was no unetbootin on the Grub2 menu.
grub.cfg had been updated but not on the partition used to launch Grub2.
The workaround I used was to copy the unetbootin menu entries from grub.cfg on the partition I ran unetbootin on
to 40_custom on the partition with the 10.04 server on and update Grub2.
This then ran successfully, with the hard disk moved to another PC.
