Boot the live cd, install Testdisk and run testdisk on your hard drive.

Testdisk can scan you drive for partitions and then add them to the partition table.

Don't panic! Wiping your partition table is no big deal if you have a live cd handy. All your data is still there, it's just a question of putting the partition table back to what it was.

You run it from the command line:

Example:
sudo testdisk /dev/sda

You may need to enlarge your terminal dialogue box. It will prompt you if his is the case.

Did you install it?

sudo apt-get install tesdisk

sudo testdisk /dev/sda

In the changes you made your partitions got renumbered. You can reinstall grub as you mentioned in your first comment and or edit your menu.lst.
