Friends,

I installed Karmic (9.10) on Win XP using Wubi, I I've been installing software on Ubuntu, drivers, setings... so I tried know the grub2.

I've changed configurations file and now I can't enter in Ubuntu!

I power the computer end I have the option ether Windows XP or Ubuntu (that's right), but when I set Ubuntu I see the message "Try (hd0,0) NTFS5", after that chenge to a screen showing the title "GNU GRUB version 1.97~beta4" and a console showing "sh:grub>". What can I do?

I know if I had a separated patitionue I could reinstall the Grub2 on MBR using the Ubuntu liveCD. But in my case, I have one file on NTFS(I used Wubi). What can I do to reinstall the grub2 keeping my Ubuntu installation?
