Deleted Ubuntu partition, stuck at GRUB command line

Question

I am having one big problem. I had dual-boot on my PC: I had Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Yesterday I upgraded to Windows 10 and I deleted the partition where Ubuntu was installed.

When I restarted my laptop it says grub rescue. I tried with these commands: ls, set, root but when I type insmod nomral it says unknown file system. Also when I try ls (hd0,msdos1,3,4 or 5).

I don't have any OS CD or USB and I only have this laptop. I need it so much today.

@mikewhatever All methods explained there involve using a live medium. OP says he doesn't have any. — Cornelius, Sep 28 '15 at 12:15

Type the following:

insmod ntfs
insmod part_msdos
set root=(hd0,msdos1)
chainloader +1
boot

If you succeed to get to Windows, you must rewrite the bootloader using something like EasyBCD if you don't have a Windows installation media (DVD or USB).

@NickyNick what is the output of ls? – Cornelius Sep 29 '15 at 13:59
Hd0 (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos4) (hd0,msdos3) (hd0,msdos1) – Nicky Nick Oct 04 '15 at 10:48
You put a space after hd0. Removing the space gets invaly efi file path after chainloader – Jon Feb 24 '20 at 13:26
