If you want to keep Linux the instructions are at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 Look for Reinstalling GRUB2 from LiveCD. I have never reinstalled the Windows 7 bootloader but I'm guessing you can just use the disk or your BIOS should have a key for reinstalling the OS on most name brand systems.

I'd give this a go first (although it looks like GRUB itself is loading OK if you get the rescue shell). If that doesn't work, it could be your config file is missing (which would explain the error). Running grub-mkconfig from a livecd will create a new config file you can use, which should hopefully fix the error.

Do you care about keeping a version of Linux? No? Then use the Windows disk to repair the boot "process" (or whatever the option is called). It's been awhile since I did this, and it was with XP, so you'll have to Google how. The point is: the Windows install disk can fix your bootloader.

If you DO want to keep Linux, boot up with the Ubuntu disk, drop to a command prompt, and install grub to the MBR of your first drive. Full details are outside the scope of typing into this little box, but that's what you need to do.
