Partition Table (Resend)

[Matthew S-H]

I'm resending this because I didn't get any responses.  I'm desperately 
hoping someone can help me.  I don't want to have to erase the entire 
hard drive.  If anyone has any ideas on how I can down by one (ie:  
hdb8 becomes hdb9), I would appreciate it.  I hope that would solve my 
problem.

I just reinstalled Ubuntu Hoary (I used a Warty CD and then ran a 
dist-upgrade).  I then surfed the web a bit (just taking a break).  And 
then I proceeded to mount the partitions from my old Hoary installation 
to migrate the data.  The only partition I really needed was the 
/dev/hdb6 partition that contained my home folder.  I proceeded to copy 
over all he files I needed into my new home folder.  Then, I booted off 
of the Warty install disk and deleted /dev/hdb6.  Now, the computer 
won't boot.  I get this error in grub whenever I try to boot:

> GRUB Loading stage1.5.
>
>
> GRUB loading, please wait...
> Error 15

Here is the current state of my partitions (in order):
> /dev/hda1   primary 10.7GB  ntfs
>     FREE SPACE      6.3GB
> /dev/hda3   primary 22.9GB  ntfs
>     FREE SPACE      2.8MB
>
> /dev/hdb9   logical 9.9GB   ext3        /
> /dev/hdb10  logical 1.9GB   ext3        /boot
> /dev/hdb11  logical 4.9GB   ext3        /tmp
> /dev/hdb12  logical 9.9GB   ext3        /usr
> /dev/hdb13  logical 3.9GB   ext3        /var
> /dev/hdb14  logical 11.9GB  ext3        /home
> /dev/hdb16  logical 6.6GB   swap
> /dev/hdb15  logical 14.9GB  ext3        /home/matt/Media_Files
>     FREE SPACE      23.2GB
> /dev/hdb8   logical 6.0GB   ext3        (FROM OLD SETUP)
> /dev/hdb7   logical 3.9GB   ext3        (FROM OLD SETUP)
> /dev/hdb6   logical 1.0GB   ext3        (FROM OLD SETUP)
> /dev/hdb5   logical 17.9GB  ext3        (FROM WARTY)
>     FREE SPACE      3.2GB

Here is what used to be the state of my partitions (I think):
> /dev/hda1   primary 10.7GB  ntfs
>     FREE SPACE      6.3GB
> /dev/hda3   primary 22.9GB  ntfs
>     FREE SPACE      2.8MB
>
> /dev/hdb10  logical 9.9GB   ext3        /
> /dev/hdb11  logical 1.9GB   ext3        /boot
> /dev/hdb12  logical 4.9GB   ext3        /tmp
> /dev/hdb13  logical 9.9GB   ext3        /usr
> /dev/hdb14  logical 3.9GB   ext3        /var
> /dev/hdb15  logical 11.9GB  ext3        /home
> /dev/hdb17  logical 6.6GB   swap
> /dev/hdb16  logical 14.9GB  ext3        /home/matt/Media_Files
> /dev/hdb6  logical 6GB     ext3        (OLD)  /home
>     FREE SPACE      17.2GB
> /dev/hdb9   logical 6.0GB   ext3        (FROM OLD SETUP)
> /dev/hdb8   logical 3.9GB   ext3        (FROM OLD SETUP)
> /dev/hdb7   logical 1.0GB   ext3        (FROM OLD SETUP)
> /dev/hdb5   logical 17.9GB  ext3        (FROM WARTY)
>     FREE SPACE      3.2GB

Note that the only addition was the OLD /home partition.  I have 
assumed that everything was just moved down by one when I deleted the 
hdb6 (OLD /home) partition.
Note that this is the only change I have made.  I didn't mean to change 
anything.  I wanted to just delete that partition to free up some space 
because I didn't need it any more.

Thanks for your help guys,
~Matt
