Hey,
I am using a HP dv4,64bit laptop running vista and ubuntu dual boot. I installed ubuntu using wubi. My windows didnt shutdown properly and went into disk repair mode. It didnt repair anythng tho. At the boot up, after i select Ubuntu in grub 2, i get stuck at (initramfs)_ shell.
I looked online n tried this fix.
