    Wubi does not touch the MBR so it must be some other issue. You can try to restore from the windows cd, you can also use the ubuntu cd to access and copy the files.

    The first time i installed ubuntu with grub & Wubi the install went clean but after it loaded to ubuntu a grub command bash program started and i dont know where to go from that point. So i reboot back to xp and the startup fails saying no autochk program found so i thought id see if i could repaip with xp disk and the xp startup says it doesnt recocnise the file system. As well, when i boot to ubuntu i get to grub command bash and dont know where to go from there.
