I think on my Fedora 18 install the command to run was:
$ grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
While on Ubuntu the corresponding command is:
$ grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Grub is such an important part of a system, that you don't simply go and update it for no reason. Grub version 2 is a somewhat complete rewrite and redesign (disclaimer: I'm not an expert on Grub), so the update has led to different names in different distros that have either allowed or not for both to be installed at the same time (user binaries, that is, only one actual bootloader at a time).

If, and that's a big if, the only thing wrong is the boot loader then it will. If there's something wrong with the actual files for the installation or the partitions, then they won't get fixed.

I think this starts to delve too far into windows support for this list. I don't know about the drivers thing, but you can't use unetbootin to make a Windows usb stick, there is a Microsoft made Windows only software for that.
