partitioning - Grub rescue without Linux

Initial state: dual boot laptop to either Windows 7 or Ubuntu.


What I tried to do: change my partition of Ubuntu to Ubuntu-Mate.


First problem: first booting for the installation worked fine, but I didn't create a partition with the free space obtained from the previous one.


What I tried to solve it: I restarted the computer and unplugged the usb in order to create the partition in Windows.


What really happened, and final problem: grub rescue is displayed, no matter what boot source used. (Edit 3: I wanted to gain access to my Windows partition, so that I could rearrange my partitions)


Thank you very much for any suggestion.


Edit: I've tried using a bootable Ubuntu usb to get the Boot-info, but it keeps giving an error: "unknown filesystem".


Edit2: I've tried via Boot-Repair-Disk, but even so it doesn't work, to check whether the iso is correctly burned, I'll try it in another computer.
