By mistake, I ended up executing "rm -rf /" command from sudo on my laptop which erased many files before it stopped. Now when I restarted my system , it gives a GRUB rescue> prompt. I am having dual boot with Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7

I request the help for following:

How do I fix the currently installed Ubuntu without overwriting/erasing the left over files (from rm -rf command)?

Is using Boot-Repair safe ?

Is there a way to directly go to Windows 7?
