Eaziest thing is to run install again but!!!!!this time stop right after you recreate the partitions with out formatting anything and then jump in to grub install.
I think someone should be able to tel us if any distro have this kid of repair already builded in. I think Ubuntu have option also to repair any installation by going through the install options somewhere. Do not get surprised if it takes as long as install it self +some. We will need anyone experienced with this options to tell us exactly how and where and IF! Or Google around for Ubuntu repair options.
