    [SOLVED] Try hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr

    that is the msg i get when trying to boot ubuntu. after approx 1 minute, the msg disappears and the system boots normaly, but it's a tremendous bother. i have wubildr & wubildr.mbr in C:\ and in C:\ubuntu\winboot\. i tried reinstalling wubi. i ran chkdsk /r and everythings OK.

    im running wubi 8.04 on vista home premium.

    help me please.

    Hi,
    Even I have the same problem in Vista home premium edition installed in Dell inspiron. This is not encouraging because support for Vista should be expected as it is not some arcane OS.

    press insert rapidly after selecting "ubuntu" and report any error you may see.

    i get some errors about MBR memory not being the same as bios memory definitions. would a bios update correct this problem?

    sry for my earlier unhelpful post - i was in class and battery was running low.

    here's what happened when i pressed a whole lot of insert:
    * same 1 min. long "Try hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr" msg.

    * a few msgs flash on screen to fast for me to read (maybe because i didn't stop hitting insert)

    * then i get this:
    hard drives: 1, int13:F0008090, int15:F000F859
    get_diskinfo(80), int13/41(80), version=AA300005, int13/48(80), err=0, C/H/S=16/383/16/63, sector count/size=2344416480/0, int13/08(80), version=0, C/H/S=1024/171/40, int13/02(80), err=0,

    some buggy BIOSes could hang when you access sectors exceeding the BIOS limit.

    get_cdinfo(7F), int13/4B01(7F), err=1, drive=7F, cdrom_drive==FFFFFFFF
    starting cmain() ... open/default ... failure
    then i hit insert again and get into the grub menu and ubuntu boots ok.

    im running wubi in vista on a 120GB HD no extra partitions, LG notebook.

    Try hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr
    Don't care about this message too much since you can enter the grub environment normally.

    I only wonder which wubildr was found and booted to the grub environment? where is it? Is it from your USB key or diskette?

    In the grub menu, press 'c' to enter console, then enter the following command:

    cat (hd0,

    followed by [TAB] key (no <ENTER> in-between), this will list all the partitions in your hard disk. The reason to do this is that sometime they put in hidden partition in notebook, this would show them all.

    Also, when you are inside vista, use the fstest.exe to gather information about the ntfs partition:

    fstest.exe info C:
    fstest.exe list C:\
    fstest.exe inode C:\wubildr
    fetest.exe comp C:\wubildr

    You can download fstest.exe from:

    http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/grub4dos/

    you may also try to delete c:\wubildr(or rename it) and reboot, and see whether or not grub could be booted.

    Re: Try hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr

    cat (hd0, [TAB] showed that i have 2 partitions of type ntsf. im assuming that the problem is that wubi is attempting to load from partition 0 while it is actually in partition 1. what do i have to edit to correct this?

    just in case, here is the info from ftest.exe:

    fstest info C:\

    version: 1.0 build 3
    part_base: 0x200800 (1025M)
    part_leng: 0xDD93800 (113447M)

    blocksize: 512
    spc: 8
    mft_size: 2
    idx_size: 8
    mft_start: 0x600000

    fstest list c:\

    list of folders & files in c: with hexa num's in the left column. wubildr and wubildr.mbr exist

    wubilder hex value: 00001348 size: 186463
    wubildr.mbr hex value: 0000134F size: 8192

    fstest inode c:\wubildr

    Type: File
    Attr:
    $STANDARD_INFORMATION (0x10) (r,sz=72)
    $FILENAME (0x30) (r,sz=80)
    wubildr
    $DATA (0x80) (nr,sz=186463)
    13690352+368

    fstest comp c:\wubildr

    Filesize: 186463
    comparing
    succeed
