Looks like you have deleted the partition on which linux was installed
somehow, so grub is trying to boot something that it can no longer
find.

First of all, use the live CD to copy your data onto a pen drive or something.

You have two options:
1. If you have a Windows boot disk, boot from it and type "fdisk
/MBR", which will rewrite your boot record, thereby uninstalling grub,
and allowing you to boot Windows again.
2. You can use a linux CD to create another partition using the free
space on the disk, and install linux there. This will give grub
something to boot.

(By the way, googling for your specific error often helps. In this
case, if you had googled for "grub error 22", it would have thrown up
a lot of stuff - some of which explains the problem.)

Do write back if this doesn't succeed. And let's see if we can help
you any further.
