[ubuntu] grub rescue after attempting 13.04 install

I have a machine that triple boots Windows, Snow Leopard and Ubuntu. I recently tried to upgrade Ubuntu from 12.04 to 12.10, but that ended up breaking my Ubuntu installation. I have a backup of the data from the Ubuntu partition that I wanted to keep, and I decided I wanted to install a fresh 13.04 into the Ubuntu partition. I downloaded the 13.04 ISO (md5 was correct), and created a live USB with LiLi, but when I went to install 13.04, I got this error:


Code:

[Errno 5] Input/output error


This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk. It may
help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, to clean the CD/DVD
drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers), to check
whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a
cooler environment.


Now when I reboot, I get the grub rescue prompt.


I have downloaded the boot-repair-disk ISO, and created a boot-info here http://paste.ubuntu.com/5892726/
When I try to run boot-repair, I get this error:

Code:

Please enable a repository containing the [linux] packages in the software sources of Ubuntu 13.04 (sda6). Then try again.
Please enable a repository containing the [grub2] packages in the software sources of Ubuntu 13.04 (sda6). Then try again.


I just want to wipe sda6, install 13.04 to it correctly, and have the GRUB2 menu show all my OSs.
