I had Xubuntu installed on my laptop on hard disk drive /dev/sda on partition /dev/sda1.
Something bad happened and when I restarted my laptop, a black screen appeared with "kernel panic" message.
So I decided to install Lubuntu from a live CD. I installed it on /dev/sda5 (it has a 6 GB size).
It was initially a swap partition, but I decided that I didn't need to have a swap partition, because I have 2 GB RAM.
So, I installed Lubuntu without problems. After a restart, a black screen with the following message appeared:
no such partition
grub rescue>
So I booted again from the live CD and changed the boot partition to /dev/sda5 in fdisk. After a restart, I can only see the GRUB command line.
fdisk -l
shows:

How can I repair GRUB to be able to boot to /dev/sda5 with Lubuntu?
