Error: attempt to read or write outside of partition

I am using Linux mint

I left the computer as a 3rd night running ddrescue doing a cloning disk to disk.

When i got up this morning just the terminal was running but anything else had dissapeared.... the desktop and bars had dissapeared so i could work or do anything (i dont really now how to you the terminal much i use xwindows for linux mint even to install programs)* . So I closed the terminal and switched off the laptop manually since i knew i could continue ddrescue with the log file!!

I disconnected the 2 disks i had attached and I restarted the computer..... this is what I got

error: attempt to read or write outside of partition
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>

what do I do now? take into the account i do not have another computer and i have a lot information in there since i emptied my new disk to clone the old disk in my laptop..... info that i dont want to loose!!

I have tried this

grub rescue > ls (hd0,msdos5)/ #* this is root and bootloader of linux
grub rescue > set root=(hd0,msdos5)
grub rescue > set prefix=(hd0,msdos5

but when I do

Grub rescue> ls /boot******** says error: attempt to read or write outside of partition* as well if I do
Grub rescue> ls /home*** gives the same error but

I can do fine:
Grub rescue> ls /media***** or* ls /root* or ls /lib

I have tried

grub rescue > insmod normal****** but it says the sames
*error: attempt to read or write outside of partition

what can i do??
