I've found someone with a similar problem, though I don't know if it's exact. The thread told me to download bootinfoscript, so I did and here is the output:

I am dual-booting with windows 7, and this is the first time this has happened to me, having previously tried out MoonOS, Ubuntu 11.04, and 11.10 previously on this same laptop with no similar errors, they all at least boot up with grub. I am using a Sony Vaio laptop.
