I have an acer netbook. I created an ubuntu instance and an xp instance on a 500 gb external drive. The drive fell off my table hit the floor and is no longer operable. I purchased an acer recovery disc , ran the disc as instructed but the recovery did not work when I restarted the netbook. I receveid this error: when the computer comes back on after the initial open screen.

error: no such device; b168-137b-9a13-4a58..(there are 12 other numbers and letters)..grub rescue> (flashing cursor)

the recovery process backed up the files on the c drive

what do I need to do to get the netbook to start up using the ubuntu or xp operating system and then view the data on my hard drive.
