I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 from a live CD alongside windows xp, all was working fine then suddenly it would only boot to grub when ubuntu was selected. I decided to reinstall (having not read the solutions on here) after reinstall if I try and boot ubuntu I get "cannot find hal32.dll" If I try to boot from the live CD it fails and the following is displayed, ""invalid argument" see wubi log, end part of which is daisplayed below

I have tried every password from here and all those from the accounts I set up in ubuntu. The same happens with the password request if I reinstall ...help. Win XP still boots no problem

Any help much appreciated
