i had installed ubuntu 9.10 on a dual boot ubuntu linux system having windows and ubuntu 9.04 then i tried to remove the swap partition of the previous ubuntu 9.04 and resize the ubuntu 9.10 partition using ubuntu livecd now i am getting grub rescue prompt showing unknown file system
this is the output of fdisk -l

now when i try to sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda7
i get this error
grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR. This is a BAD idea.
grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and its use is discouraged.
grub-setup: error: Cannot read `/grub/core.img' correctly
i also tried running bootinfoscript and following is its output

now when i try to sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda7
i get this error
grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR. This is a BAD idea.
grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and its use is discouraged.

## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.

## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the

## Xen hypervisor options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenhopt=
## Xen Linux kernel options to use with the default Xen boot option

## altoption boot targets option
## multiple altoptions lines are allowed

## altoptions=(recovery) single
# altoptions=(recovery mode) single
## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
