    Grub error 15 ubuntu 10.10

    Ok, I have windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10 on my Toshiba portege. I created a new partition in windows 7 and decided to delete it. All was well, until I deleted the new partition and extended the space back to the C drive. At first, my pc booted straight to win7, after using easybcd I was able to choose between windows and ubuntu. When I select ubuntu I received this error:

    [Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For
    the first word, TAB lists possible command
    completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
    completions of a device/filename.]


    I did some research and I was able to boot Ubuntu by: root (hd0,0), chainloader +1, boot

    My question is... how do I fix this? I will have to do this every time I use Ubuntu which is a pain. ( I tried restarting my pc and had to chainload again). I did a system restore on windows 7, hoping that would do the trick (since it has to do with me deleting the partition) with no resolve. I really don't want to have to reinstall ubuntu again nor upgrade to ubuntu 11. whatever. I've looked in my /boot files and everything seems to be there. But, when I try to open my vmlinuz-2.... file it says : File type to be open unknown. ????
    I was also receiving this in grub, error 15: File not found.
    Also when I would try find /vmlinuz the file could not be found and kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hd0,0. Any help would be much appreciated
    Also, my menu.lst is empty... I've tried fixing it with but no success. members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p15.html#15]grub page

    Here's my sudo fdisk -lu .... if it helps
