Everything went on well. Today morning when I rebooted my workstation, I was appalled by the grub rescue screen that appeared on boot up. I could not guess what could be the reason for this. Trying to find out a solution, I googled and browsed several sites and performed the following commands from a live cd.
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
sudo grub-install /dev/sda /mnt
I later recognized that I should have installed grub in sda1 and not in sda2. sda2 is my ubuntu partition with all my data.
On reboot, I was further taken aback by appearance of a grub prompt. On googling again, I was instructed to run find command in grub. I then got this error.
"grub>unknown command find"
Not knowing what to do, I booted again using a live CD.
I felt awwww when I saw my 2 TB file system showing only five folders leaving out the main home folder which contained all the users and the data. I assumed that I have made a mistake by installing grub on /dev/sda2 and it has replaced ubuntu and the data.
I then tried several solutions given online. Like I tried to recover using boot-repair, followed this link
http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/g...mozTocId842078 and tried to chroot. On giving chroot I get "chroot: cannot run command /bin/bash no such file or directory".
Kindly help me out.
I have also posted the results of bootinfoscript for your reference.

Is my presumption correct ? Has grub replaced the ubuntu partition and all its data ?
How could I bring my machine back to its original state ?
