Hello
So the story is as follows:
First I upgraded from 8.04 to 9.04. The installation went aok and I used Ubuntu for about 2 hours then suddenly the screen went black and all that was left was a flashing dot in the upper left corner. I pressed the powerbutton and did a restart. I got an error message about /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk does not exist. I tried several boots, but no joy. I decided to do a new clean 9.04 install because I thought the error was because I had upgraded.
This seemed to work great and I have used 9.04 for 4 days now, but today the same thing happened with the black screen and the dot when I was surfing. I did a restart, but this time there was another message. No errors, just a message about GRUB and how you could get help for commands by typing tab. If I press ESC I get into a menu where I can find some files, reboot and so on. When I try to find the missing files it doesn't find them. I am now back in Vista and tried to locate the files myself on the linux disk. Somehow everything except the winboot dir and uninstall wubi is just gone.
Why is happening? I had no problems with 8.04. I am considering to reinstall 8.04, but I just wanted to get some opinions first.
Thanks
