Booting error on GRUB after Backtrack installation

Question

I have installed windows a 7 and Ubuntu 13.04 already, I was trying to install backtrack but at the start of the installation, I turned the computer off because it told me it was going to boot automatically or something like this, then when I tried to open my computer again, I got this

error: unknown file system.
grub rescue>

Backtrack is old and unsupported, you should instead use Kali. Try to recover your GRUB with Ubuntu then install something actual. — Braiam, Oct 19 '13 at 00:54

Place ubuntu on a USB Live, boot from it and do the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update

Then

sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &)

Do the recommended repair and then reboot.
