Any one who wants to install a linux distribution other than Ubuntu using RahebMan's guide, you need to install the GRUB boot-loader on the linux partition (ext3 or ext4) not the whole disk!
IMO that works with Ubuntu and its derivatives (e.g. Mint), too. My Mint has its GRUB in its partition and runs fine that way.
you also need to configure the boot-loader not to set any boot flag to the MBR or the linux partition.
Or remove the label using gparted from your swiss army linux rescue stick/CD --- that thing has saved my xxx many times!
