Re: gnu grub version 1.99-21ubuntu3.1 error
Were you deleting any partitions? Maybe you deleted the ubuntu partition by accident? Were you changing the boot order in BIOS? Maybe you have good grub2 on one disk and broken grub2 on another one, and you are simply booting from the wrong disk.
It's not possible that it can't boot from the cd. If it can't, then either you are not doing it right, or your cd-rom is faulty, or the cd is faulty. The computer should always be able to start from cd when you tell it to, regardless what is happening with the hard disk.
But if you want, you can try fixing this without the liveCD (although it would be much easier if you can boot the cd in live mode).
At that grub prompt, what does it show if you execute:
ls (small LS)
Darko.
