looking at { sda5/boot/grub/grub.cfg:} , the menuentry for ubuntu does not list a "intrid" command. I'm not much but a linux user but would say that would be a problem. Will let one with more knewlege comment on it.

What does the "intrid" command do? Do you reckon this is to do with the boot files being too far away from the beginning of the disk?

No initrd line could be the problem. I'm wondering why you also have a grub.cfg file on sda7, did you have Ubuntu installed there previously. That grub.cfg has no entry for Ubuntu.
Also this at the very top of the bootinfoscript

core.img is at this location and looks
in partition 72 for .

is a problem. You don't have a partition 72. I've seen this error before and it's always associated with a major problem. I would suggest you reintall Grub. Just boot the flash drive you are using with the Ubuntu Live CD on it and follow the instructions at the site below.

I decided to remove all of the Ubuntu partitions and start again with the Secure Remix CD.

I installed a "/boot" partition of 1GB, then a "swap" partition of 16GB and "/" partition filling in the rest.

After all that was done, I restarted the computer and this message was shown:

error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found.
grub rescue>

I did a recommended Boot-Repair and this didn't change things. Here's the link for that:

Help!

I don't know what that file is or why you have and i386-pc folder in /boot/grub. I haven't tried 12.10 so maybe they made a change? If you don't have the normal.mod file in the /boot/grub/i386-pc folder, it should be in /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/ of the installed system. You could boot your Ubuntu CD and mount the / (root) partition and go to that directory and copy it to /boot/grub/i386-pc. normal.mod is just an audio file??
