Help-Need to access files in crashed Ubuntu running in Hyper V on a Windows Server 2008

Help!! I'm running HyperV with a bunch of small VMs running 12.04.5 Ubuntu. In one of them, the /boot directory was full and had a lot of duplicate files from different dates, some I thought were unnecessary headers of updates. However, one series of files was called vmlinuz-3.2.0-29-generic. I moved all the files to /obsolete_files. As an aside, my cron jobs were not working, and I rebooted after having trouble upgrading packages (I think these were related problems in this VM). Unfortunately, I now get the following prompt if I try to "connect" to the VM via HyperV:

grub rescue>

Is there a way to access the directory system on the Window's Server so that I can move those files back? I really only need to retrieve one or two files off the VM.

grub rescue>ls
(hd0) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos1) (fd0)

It doesn't under boot, or insmod. I can set prefixes, though. Am I doomed?
