OK, i have faced this problem myself before.. and i found a way to recover grub2. (i think thats the issue here)
*Step 1* > Boot to live session from your ubuntu livecd *[EVERYTHING WILL BE DONE HERE]* Go to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso and download the ubuntu lucid lynx minimal cd image. (for 32bit i386) if you have some other kind of pc, go here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD and choose the right image for your machine. *Step two* > Go to *Applications > Ubuntu Software Center. *Search for *Unetbootin *and install it. (usb-creator does not work with ubuntu-minimal) *Step thre**e* > Open Unetbootin from *Applications > System Tools *and then from the user interface,* select ISO image* and from the directory choose previously downloaded ubuntu-minimal iso* (mini.iso)*. Select your usb thumb drive and make it bootable. *Step four > Restart and boot from the USB drive. A basic boot menu like this *http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/images/minimallucid02.png will appear. Choose *Advanced Options > Command Line Expert install* * * A window with a lot of installation steps will appear. First select and follow *Configure Your Network Hardware*. Then select *Network Setup* to setup your internet. *"Configure network with DHCP?" >> YES*. Ignore all the other steps and select* Install Grub Bootloader. *It will ask you to install grub2 instead of grub legacy, choose yes. then it'll ask your permission to install grub bootloader to the master boot record, again choose yes. When everything is complete, remove the USB and restart your PC. Inshallah it'll work.
