Well hello friends ):P
A couple of days ago i was working on ubuntu as usual and the comptuer started crashing with I/O errors, so i decided to check my hard drive and found it could be damaged, showing up to 340 bad sectors or blocks.
So i backed up my crucial data and proceeded to install ubuntu again, hoping the errors would magically disappear on my sda3 partition, just like before, so i merged my sda3 partition with two others that were after it and proceeded to install it, hoping to get two birds stoned at once :roll:
Ubuntu installed normally and then when i tried to access it for the first time, i couldn't, this is all i get

Windows, which is in the same hard drive, in sda2, works perfectly.

I already tried boot-repair with recommended repair without luck, and also tried some advanced options like "Reinstall GRUB", "Purge GRUB before reinstalling" - which didn't work at all btw, got a bunch of errors and couldn't purge it - and "Upgrade GRUB to its most recent version", then recommended repair again.. and notihng.
I really need to get ubuntu running so i can get back to work, i can't stand working on windows, I only use it to edit images.
