I tried out the commands given above and actually booted into the system. First time this way. Since its was a long time that I had installed the OSes I used 'find /boot/grub/stage1' to locate all my root partitions. However after that grub never returns any output unless its an error.

Easwar's problem turns out to be a corrupted /boot partition. I am curious to know how he restored all his /boot files after deleting and re-creating the partition. Is it as simple as backing up the files somewhere else and pasting them back or getting them from some new source.
