If you installed with wubi, and when you boot the first thing you see is the grub rescue, then this means you installed grub to your drive MBR. This doesn't work with Wubi installs which rely on the windows bootloader.
So to fix, use your windows repair disk to reinstall the windows bootloader:
winxp use command: fixmbr
vista/7 use command: bootrec.exe /fixmbr
This will get both windows and (wubi) ubuntu booting again. Next time you update grub-pc take care not to install it to any devices.
If you don't have a windows disk you can boot an Ubuntu live CD/USB and install the lilo bootloader to act the same as windows' bootloader:
Code:
sudo apt-get install lilo
sudo lilo -M /dev/sda mbr
You will get warnings after installing lilo, which you can safely ignore as it refers to the use of lilo for booting linux.
