Frank,
If you removed the bottom plate you nailed into the floor, use hydraulic cement to fill the holes/cracks. When you rebuild your framing for the wall, don't nail the bottom plate, use contractor's adhesive to hold in place, and be sure you shim the top plate before nailing to make it real tight.
