Hi, I'm new to the forums, and I've been trying so many solutions to fixing my problem, but they did not work.
I have Windows 7 installed, and I used Wubi to install Ubuntu 12.04 inside my Windows (which seemed like a good idea at the time).
Now when I try to boot into Ubuntu, I end up in a bash terminal for Grub 2, and can't do anything from there. I tried some commands with no luck.
Then I tried a Usb Live CD and used boot repair with no luck. ( paste.ubuntu.com/6973163 )
Now on the Wubi megathread, I found the Boot Info Script which gives me the following:
Code:
