It looks like you have created a new partitions before existing partitions and because of that, device names assigned to partitions have been changed.
You have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab files.
Boot up from Ubuntu LiveCD, mount its ext4 partition and post the contents of above mentioned files.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
