So I installed linux (ubuntu) yesterday on a fresh hdd with a disk. It worked fine till today when it froze after I had had it in sleep mode and I had to turn it off and on again to be greeted with a message

error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found. entering rescue mode... 
grub rescue>

I am not dual booting and I dont know exactly what to do. I'm relatively new to ubuntu and linux in general. My pc is a dell latitude laptop. Don't know if I should just convert back to windows...

Run this command in a terminal window (press Ctrl+Alt+F1 key combination at login prompt if needed to enter text-mode Ubuntu/console): 

    sudo update-grub

Reboot and see what next. If you still have problems after reboot, visit this page where you'll find some official guide for Ubuntu repair with the installation media. Make sure you still have Ubuntu installation DVD or the Live USB pendrive from where you installed Ubuntu.
