I was intending to use dd to wipe my laptop's HD, but accidentally pressed enter with only

[dd if=/dev/zero/

without an of=... argument, then could not enter any further commands, so I cut the power.

Now, grub rescue comes up immediately after the BIOS, and when I ls, it doesn't show any partitions. I just want to finish wiping the drive, how do I get back to a command prompt?

Edit: Thanks so much for the comments, guys! The (admittedly crap) pic is what the machine boots into, with me trying to [ls] the partitions and finding none. I'm pretty new to all this, but this does not seem like it should happen unless the partitions have been wiped out, which does not seem possible, given how it came about.

Boots directly to grub rescue, cannot find partitions
