Use grub rescue to boot from Windows XP partition, CD or USB
I just attempted to reinstall Lubuntu using my own guide. However, my LiveCD was (appearantly) damaged, which caused installation to fail. Now, when I restart the PC, I get dropped into a grub rescue> prompt.
Now how can I use that prompt to: 1. Boot to the Windows XP partition that is on the hard drive or 2. Boot from a (new) LiveCD/LiveUSB to fix everything.
The boot order is set to prefer the HDD, and I can't change it due to a password I don't know.
