9.10 is on a secondary partition of the main harddrive.
I have vista on the first partition which I extended from 30gb to 60 gb. I used the Wubi install process to creat an ext4 partition in the 30gb after that, and then created a 4gb swap partition after the ext4 partition. Ubuntu installed onto the ext4 partition.
I rebooted and added an Ubuntu option via easybcd to the windows boot loader. When I select Ubuntu with windows bootloader I now boot into a grub2 console.
ls is not listed as a command when typing help from this console.
Typing ls at the command prompt generates error 32 unrecognized command.
The wubi identified the ext4 partition as hda5. When I used the advanced option to install grub2 in the wubi it seems to have created a grub.cfg file that I can see when I mount the 40gb ext4 volume from the live CD. When grub launches it seems to be looking for a menu.lst file rather than grub.cfd right before it launches me into the console.
What went wrong? What can I do to fix this?
