Errors after expanding the disk using gparted live 0.18.X

I cannot start my Ubuntu after expanding the harddisk. Installed the Ubuntu 12.04 with 30GB space and I ran out of space, so I used gparted live to expand the disk space. After doing that my partition table got corrupted I guess and I am not able to boot to my environment. VirtualBox keeps crashing, after several attempts, finally Ubuntu boots in read-only mode. I am not sure how to fix this. Please help me.

Code:

sudo LANG=C sfdisk -d /dev/sda > sfdisk.txt
# partition table of /dev/sda
unit: sectors


/dev/sda1 : start=    2048, size= 67102720, Id=83, bootable
/dev/sda2 : start= 67104768, size= 16781312, Id= 5
/dev/sda3 : start=        0, size=        0, Id= 0
/dev/sda4 : start=        0, size=        0, Id= 0

And I get this error
Code:

Warning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder boundary.
DOS and Linux will interpret the contents differently.


sfdisk: ERROR: sector 67104768 does not have an msdos signature

Code:

sudo LANG=C fdisk -lu
sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/portaldev/2: Read-only file system
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 5 will be corrected by w(rite)

If I boot into gparted live, I get error
I am stuck doing nothing, I can't work because of this issue. Please help me resolve this.
