Update.
I have tried the solutions mentioned above. Boot Repair did not solve the problem. All it seemed to do was check my Ubuntu installation.
As far as GParted goes, I do not know how to interpret the results of it's operation. Here is a print of the results page. Perhaps one of you can tell me where to go next or what to do.
Thank you.
By the way, I should have mentioned this in my OP but the computer I am using is a Toshiba Netbook NB205 with an Intel Atom processor. It has no DVD or CD drive, only a hard drive and three USB ports. I have a USB DVD drive for it but it is not avialable at the moment and won't be until I get back to Florida after Christmas.
