I am new to Ubuntu and using Netbook Remix version 9.10. The update package popped up with some security updates. I downloaded all of them and then hit the restart button. Now all I see after the winboot load is the grub 'dos' screen. I can get to grub rescue but thats it. I was wondering if there is a way to download the missing files from somewhere and place them in the grub folder as I am dual booting with XP.

I have installed Ubuntu onto a seperate partition as well.

Thanks

Is this a wubi install? If so this may help.

If you see the Windows boot screen, the problem is most probably with Windows. What makes you think Grub files are missing? Do you know which ones?
