Unhappy Grub problem after uninstalling Ubuntu 10.04!


I have 4 partitions in my hard disk. I divided the 4th partition into 2 (ext4 and swap) and installed Ubuntu 10.04. After that when I logged into windows(XP) and deleted the 2 partitions on which I had installed Ubuntu, my grub disappeared. When I booted afterwards, the following error came:

unknown file system.
grub rescue > _

Now I cannot login to Windows. Please help!
