Hello,
I am new to Ubuntu and i wanted install it on my work laptop. Just to be safe, i installed Ubuntu 9.10 using Wubi. I chose the default options and Wubi chose the 64-bit edition on Ubuntu 9.10. Everything was running smooth for a few days. After that, the update manager showed some critical and recommended updates. I believe i saw an update to Grub in the "Recommended" section. I installed everything thats shown on the update manager.
I have the habit of closing my laptop lid and not shutting down. After the update was done i closed the lid. While opening it again, the laptop was not switching on, so i did it a hard restart (holding on the power key to shut down and switch it back on). I selected Ubuntu from the menu, and it showed some error which i cant read. Then it showed me command prompt called GNU GRUB 1.97~ Beta. I tried several commands, but cannot boot into Ubuntu.
I unistalled Ubuntu using Wubi. I like Ubuntu and want to install it on a separate partition, but after this problem i am hesitant.
Could someone shed some light on this issue?
Any help is appreciated.
