Grub hanging

[John J. Boyer]

What happened was that Windows would not shut down after several hours. 
I used the power button. When I turned the machine back on it wouldn't 
boot. Grub had been behaving a bit strangely lately. Could a Windows 
update have messed it up. Where do i get a rescue disk?
