@ praka123: I followed all the steps in your post.Rebooted once after editing menu.lst file.But the error was still there.So, I got back to liveCD terminal and mounted sda2 [you had mentioned sda3 in your post, but I guess that was typo,right.??] in /mnt directory.Now, on doing the final step i.e.:
I get following:
Code:
grub-install /dev/sda
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash
root@ubuntu:/# grub-install /dev/sda
[COLOR=RED]/dev/sda: Not found or not a block device.[/COLOR]

No, I still get:
Code:
Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.

Yup, I can access all my ubuntu HDD files in /mnt folder.The /boot directory contains:

And, yes sda7 is my new home partition.
EDIT: I need to go offline now.Will check back the problem status and for some help here tomorrow.Thanks for all the help till now.

I would suggest you to boot up from SuperGRUB CD and select 'Fix Linux Boot Loader (GRUB)' option. It will detect conf files of GRUB and re-install it.
In case, it doesn't work, we will have to look somewhere else.
BTW, how did you copy files of /home folder to new partition? Did you retain permissions? I mean, did you use -a option with cp command?
