Hey!
Having some troubles with new laptop. Installed Ubuntu, which is still working fine... Then installed Windows 7 as dual boot which couldn't catch wifi nor let me play any of the games i remembered from back in the day. Installed XP instead and lost the grub menu. Tried to restore the grub with Boot-repair (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows) which indeed restored the grub to a state where i can boot to ubuntu, but which corrupted the MBR.
Boot-repair log shows all my partitions: http://paste.ubuntu.com/692113/
but gparted (in both my installed ubuntu and the live cd) shows this:

I can't access any other partitions and am afraid that re-installing (format) wouldn't work.
What can i do?
