Hi all,
I'm trying to fix Wubi on my laptop which is running XP. I went over to the Windows for the first time in a month, I cleared out some temp files and deleted some unnecessary programs and defragmented C: but didn't touch anything related to Wubi.
I can boot Windows just fine, but when I select Ubuntu I see an error message "no wublidr" and the computer restarts. So I guess that lands me in the Problem #2 category.
I booted from a live CD, determined which partition to access but when I get to the step:
sudo cp /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg.copy
I found that the grub folder is completely empty. Now I'm stuck.
I've tried to read through the forum posts, but I can't seem to find a solution to this particular problem. Sorry if it's a repeat.
Thanks for any advice.
Here's the output of boot info script:
