Solaris + Windows 7 .. delete Solaris Partition .. how do i boot from GRUB?

772452May 21 2012 — edited May 22 2012
i had Solaris and W7 partitions -- together summing to the entire disk size -- but i needed to expand W7 partition. i was not able to resize the ZFS so i deleted it; i can now only boot as far as GRUB "BASH-like commands" window [GRUB> prompt], which rejects everything i enter.


the ultimate goal is to expand the W7 partition and effect another Solaris install (and possibly another primary partition -- Linux?)

how can i recover?
