But the problem is much greater then that. The version of Ubuntu I have is netbook remix 9.10, I believe it to be grub 2.

I am getting the screen grub recovery, but there is no grub it was deleted. I have tried uses the super boot disk, but my computer won't boot to it. Even after making it first priority.

You need to boot from a Windows XP install disk. When the installer starts, press "r" to repair a Windows installation. When the recovery console appears, you may need to type "1" to select your Windows installation, and you will then be prompted for the administrator password (this is probably blank, even if you have set the password on your own user account). Once you have logged in, run fixmbr followed by fixboot.

You could attempt to install GRUB within the Windows partition... but I don't think this is practical at all. You should definitely go with restoring the Windows bootloader. – jcrawfordor Jun 7 '11 at 3:14

You can repair using the Windows XP install disk as suggested above. Another alternative is to install Ubuntu again on the same partition. That way, you will get your grub re-installed (along with Ubuntu) and you can then use/boot windows. To install ubuntu, you should be able to boot from CD/DVD drive or a USB drive
