I have ubuntu 9.10 installed on the same partition as win xp on C:\ drive thru Wubi. Everything was working fine. But After one of the reboots, I could not load ubuntu. Just got to the grub prompt with minimal bash support.
Till here, the boot options are fine - Both win xp and ubuntu are shown.
After browsing thru a few forum posts, I rebooted the pc with a ubuntu 9.10 live usb drive. Opened a terminal window and ran a cmd to install grub (not update-grub2). Rebooted the pc again and no longer see the 2 options to boot into either Win xp or ubuntu. I just see Grub loading and it goes straight to the grub prompt.
I am handicapped now. Neither windows nor ubuntu:-(
plz help me restore the original boot options for dual boot!
