So you were installing Ubuntu when your computer shut off? If so, I would try reinstalling it, and that will probably fix your Grub error.

When you set up your partitions in the installer, you have to specify one of them for your main Ubuntu file system, which has mount point of "/". So for whichever partition you want for your main Ubuntu install, just set the mount point on that partition as "/" and you shouldn't get that error.
