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?
