I checked from this support section and reloaded GRUB by booting in Live CD and in terminal widow setting up GRUB.
now grub shows up but when I select ubuntu in GRUB, It says "cant mount partition".

When you boot the Live CD, can you post the output of:-
sudo fdisk -l
and also:-
cat /path/to/ubuntu-root/boot/grub/menu.lst

Can you help with this problem?
