You can always boot the Ubuntu installer disc and mount the Windows partition to retrieve your missing papers until you get this mess settled. I am not familiar with Windows enough to off any advise, hopefully some one will come along and chime in on that.

I think it might be useful for you to tell us which version of windows you are using. vista and windows 7 use a different bootloader than xp and earlier and changing setting will require different files. Also, what file specifically did you edit and what did you do? Just change the timeout?

you can use supergrub disk to boot windows partition

This sounds like a Wubi install ... how did you install Ubuntu:-
boot from CD or USB drive
just put a CD in the drive and ran the program
something else (you need to tell us so we can help)
... as MikeTbob said you can boot from a live CD, mount the partition and just copy the information to a pen drive.
