:confused:

I have Ubuntu 10.04 dual boot with WXP

Update manager said I needed to update.

Gave the password.

Then it said reboot.

When I rebooted, only the XP partition would boot.

I saw that grub was updated. Is it possible that the grub update corrupted my grub?

I can see the menu to select either WXP or Ubuntu, but when I select Ubuntu, the system reboots from scratch.

I am booted from an Ubuntu USB key right now. I tried to mount what I think is the Ubuntu partition, but there does not appear to be anything on it. What happened?
