PROBLEM created after installing updates using 'update manager'.

[Arsenal_86]

Hi.
I started using ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my Dell Studio 15 laptop. Installing ubuntu has never been this easy! I used CD which used WUBIInstaller to install Ubuntu. Then I restarted my machine and selected Ubuntu from 'OS selection screen'.

I connected to my wireless broadband in few minutes and found a pop-up of 'update manager' showing 305 new updates to be download and to be installed. I installed all updates worth 370 MB and in middle got an pop-up of GRUB telling me to configure GRUB on some path. I just selected that path and clicked on FORWARD button. Then installation of updates got over and it asked me to restart machine. I restarted machine but on OS selection screen,when i selected Ubuntu it didn't boot Ubuntu but instead machine restarted again. I'm not able to boot into Ubuntu.:(

Please help.

Thanks.
Pranav

Can you boot into Windows normally?

Hi.
Yes I'm able to boot Windows Vista normally. I think some issue with GRUB but don't know how to solve it!

There is an issue with GRUB and Wubi that affects both 10.04 and 10.10
