grub2 - Grub can't find device on boot resulting in Grub Rescue

So I have 2 hard drives a HDD 320GB and a SSD 20GB. Before I had Windows 7 on the HDD and Ubuntu on the SSD but wanted to get rid of windows and reinstall a clean Ubuntu on the SSD then use the HDD for storage.


So I deleted everything from the HDD and set up the SSD with 18GB ext4 and 2GB Swap and installed Ubuntu on the 18GB ext4. Though now when I boot up I get "Error: No such device Grub Rescue"


I have a live USB and I ran the Boot Repair following these instructions - grub rescue prompt after install installing Ubuntu in a dual boot - it says successful though still have the same problem. This is the given URL from Boot Repair - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1257988/


Thanks for any help given.
