Changed GRUB settings now can't load Ubuntu

I changed the timer setting on GRUB to 0 seconds, this was accidental.

Now my computer boots straight into Windows 8 as this was my default GRUB option.

Since the GRUB menu no longer appears (as the delay is 0 seconds) I can't boot into Ubuntu.

Is there any way to change the GRUB settings from Windows OR boot into Ubuntu in another way?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Just load up your Ubuntu CD/DVD and instead of installing, just choose the 'Try it out' option. You'll be able to edit the grub.cfg file on the partition you installed Ubuntu on and change the timeout.

Good luck!
