Had win7 and ubuntu installed on laptop and inadvertently selected the recovery option in boot menu - exited and now all I get is

error: no such partition
grub rescue>

set returns:

prefix=(hd,0,msdos6)/boot/grub
root=hd0,msdos6

ls returns:

(hd0) (hd0,msdos5) (hd,0,msdos3) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1)

'normal' not available and I dearly love to not have to stick my oem recovery disc in any other info I can give please ask...

any help would be muchly appreciated.
