Grub Rescue

This was a dual-boot Windows XP 7 Xubuntu workstation & recently while 
in the XP partition I was viewing the drives & when I clicked on the 
Linux partition it disappeared.  I was looking to see how much space I 
could get back for the Windows partition when this happened.

This happened once before on another machine, but it wasn't a huge deal 
as I just re-imaged it.

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to look at it deeper & while doing a 
renovation the power got turned off & the machine shut down.

When it boots up now it shows a grub Rescue prompt & when I do an ls I 
get the following:

(hd0) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos1) (fd0)

I have been looking online & all I have found so far is how to get it 
back into Ubuntu.  But as Ubuntu doesn't exist anymore this doesn't help 
me.  I haven't applied any commands as I don't want to mess it up.

Right now my goal is to recover the Windows XP Partition which houses my 
Quicken software.  I do have the Quicken files on a DropBox share & 
hopefully they were synched at the time, but I won't know unless I get 
back in there.

Any ideas?
