Reinstalling GRUB

[Frankiewizard]

I am trying to us UBUNTU on a TOSHIBA Qosmio G20
in a windows environment "wobi" worked very well until I did an update on ubuntu
now all I am getting is -


GNU GRUB version 1.97 beta
[ Minimal Bash - like line editing is supported. For first time,
TAB lists possible command complications.
Anywhere else TAB lists possible device/file complications. ]

When I press Tab I get this


sh:grub
Possible commands are:
. [ badrun boot cat chainleader configfile cpuid dump echo expert halt help initrd
linux list_env load_env loopback is 1smod parser.rescue parser
.sh reader.normal reader.rescue reboot rmod save_env search set sleep source terminal
_input.console terminal_output. console test unset



my cd driver is a bit shot up and does not read all cds so
I thought I may try a reboot on a memory stick
! 'but no hope' is there another way around this/my problem of Reinstalling GRUB ?

Cheers Frankie.:-({|=

This is EXACTLY why I just logged on today. This is precisely the problem I am having and have no idea what do do. Someone help us!!! I LOVE wubi because I don't have to worry about partitions, but I think the upgrade screwed that up.

It's a "famous" bug in wubildr, a file which is on the partition where you installed wubi (C:, D:, E:, etc).
Boot windows, download an improved copy of wubildr and replace the existing file:

NOTE: This is only for wubi installs.

BRILLIANT! Works like a charm. I can go back to the joys of Linux again.
