I'm pretty much a newbie at this whole Linux thing. After some issues I installed Ubuntu alongside Windows a couple of weeks ago and moved all of my stuff there. Today I was trying to increase the size of my Ubuntu's partition through Windows and now whenever I try to load it it just goes straight to grub. I think the PC can't find the boot file. What can I do? And if the OS itself is beyond saving, can I at least move some files out of it through a mounted CD?
Edit: After running "sudo parted -l":

Edit2: Found the solution - downloaded a program called TestDisk on my mounted CD and it found the broken partition. I am happy now.
