Grub Troubles

[Acid_1]

Ya, so I installed Mint, and then decided I'd try Ubuntu 8.40 alpha 5. So I partitioned my hd and gave 30gigs to Mint 25 to an ext3 system (to share data between os's) and 8 for Ubuntu. I decided I didn't like how a) Ubuntu works and b) the fact that I mounted my extra space into Ubuntu's /home. So, I rebooted, went into Mint and opened gparted. Then I deleted the Ubuntu and Ext3 partition that I had, and made it into one large ext3 partition. I then decided that I should reboot to see if I could get back into Mint. I had a feeling I couldn't, and I was right. Now, I think it's just cause Ubuntu's grub cannot be found, and I don't know how to make Mint grub to work again. So, any help would be nice

Partition table entries are not in disk order

That's the output for sudo fdisk -l

I agree wiyh Nibes, SuperGrub has helped me many times, but now I'm staying!

I'll try supergrub. I don't want to do a fresh install cause I only installed Mint a couple of days ago, and spent close to 14 hours of the last 48 tweaking it.
