Can anyone help me with this ?!

I can't boot into Ubuntu, I'm dualbooting and have installed Ubuntu through Wubi-installer.
I have 1 partition where I also have Vista installed, installed Ubuntu inside Windows.

I get "Try (hd0,0) EXT2" when I boot

This is my output from fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders

Let's get a better look at your setup & boot process. Boot the Ubuntu Live CD. Choose "try ubuntu without any changes", when the desktop loads come back here and use the link in my signature to download the Boot Info Script 0.32 to the desktop. Once on desktop open a terminal and run this command
sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script*.sh This will create a RESULTS.txt file on the desktop. Paste the entire contents of that file back here. Once pasted highlight all text and click the # sign on the toolbar to place code tags around the text.


Edit: I just noticed you started a thread earlier about this same issue. Please do not create more than one thread about the same problem. Here is the link to your previously created thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1271612
