Oh dear God, help me! I tried to reinstall Ubuntu over an old partition that had ubuntu previously, but wouldn't boot due to graphics driver issues, but when I try to boot my laptop, it says this:

It didn't install the grub2 bootloader it seems. It still has the old one on the MBR but the old partition is gone now.

Simply reinstall grub2 to the MBR of the boot disk using the ubuntu cd. You have instructions here:
