I attempted to boot after attempting resizing NTFS. Grub wouln't load properly. Rescue boot wasn't successful. Is there a way to restore Grub, or maybe boot directly into Linux bypassing Grub?

Below is my partition table. space between NTFS and FAT32 is not showing.

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 46729 23551258+ 7 HPFS/NTFS Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/hda2 67050 81409 7237282+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA) Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/hda3 81409 114782 16820055 83 Linux Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/hda4 114782 116280 755055 5 Extended Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/hda5 114782 116280 755023+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris

OK I thought of a possible workaround (which is better than working from the Live CD anyway)

I reinstalled Hoary in the free space.

Now I need to know how to mount the old Hoary partition. I can't boot into it. I managed to boot into XP after the reinstall of ubuntu and Grub.
