"Well you can boot into Ubuntu following the steps below. But first, my hard disk configuration is: one disk with 3 partitions: - 1st one (sda1): is laptop recover data NTFS (came from factory and it's hidden) - 2nd one (sda2): is where I have Windows (Vista) NTFS installation and from where I installed Ubuntu inside using WUBI. - 3rd one (sda3): just a data backup NTFS partition To boot up Ubuntu, just restart computer and choose "Ubuntu" at windows boot menu. When it drops to prompt "sh:grub>" enter the following 4 (four) commands (change it according to your hard disk configuration): Quote: set root=(hd0,2) linux (loop0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=/dev/sda2 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro initrd (loop0)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic boot Remember: 1. that you can press TAB key after "(loop0)" and "loop=" to get completion help/guidance. 2. at prompt "sh:grub>" you can type the command 'ls' to list the partitions. 3. (hd0,1) equals to /dev/sda1, (hd0,2) equals to /dev/sda2, (hd0,3) equals to /dev/sda3, ... You should now be able to boot to Ubuntu. Once inside Ubuntu, open a console and try to resolve the grub/wubi problem with the following commands (this part I can't confirm that will work): sudo update-grub sudo update-grub2 sudo grub-install /dev/sda sudo grub-install /dev/sda2 I hope this will help you guys. Regards."
