Hi,

I have used wubi to install ubuntu 9.10 and everything was working fine until I rebooted and now I get a black screen saying GRUB at the top.

I have searched around the internet and I have found this:

sh:grub>set root=(loop0)
sh:grub>linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=/dev/sda1 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro
sh:grub>initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic
sh:grub>boot
Now is says loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk is the location if it was installed @ C:\ubuntu but on my system it is F:\ubuntu what do i have to change?

Thanks!

Those instructions only work some of the time and only are temporary solution. For a permanent solution see:

but replace "C:" by "F:"

You'll need to run:

sudo update-grub2

in the terminal afterwards, that should make the changes permanent.

gungrog: Please have a look at the link I posted. "update-grub2" is not a permanent solution.
