[ubuntu] Boot Loader...will not load

Hello all...I'm actually shocked I've never came here to the forums before now.

I was messing around with my Windoz machine delete sys files in an effort to install a partition with Ubuntu on it. Unfortunately I wasn't paying attention and I highlighted the partition I wanted but didn't choose from the drop down list and wiped my entire disk...lol. As many times as I've install Ubu you think I would've remembered that. But, I disgress. I installed from a usb stick and somehow the grub/boot loader is on my usb stick....but not my hard drive.

Is there a way to change this? I looked in /boot/grub and the grub.cfg file is in there but for whatever reason it isn't loading when I reboot. I 'have' to have my usb stick in order for Ubu to boot correctly...then I can pull it out and it runs fine (a little slow honestly ).

I tried to ....It says it can't find grub. I tried and it didn't like that either. Does anyone have any suggestions?
