Hi
I run a laptop with dual boot windows 7 and unbuntu.
I upgraded to 11.04 last week and everything was fine until yesterday.
I mainly use unbuntu and whilst web browsing yesterday, I did an update.
I then restarted as instructed and I now cannot get into unbuntu.
Windows 7 loads, I can see an option on start up to choose unbuntu or unbuntu recovery but if I choose either option I just get a black screen with some writing on it but I cannot read it and it just stops there.
So I have no access to my unbuntu and I am now not sure what to do.
I have unbuntu on a seperate partition in windows 7, although not marked as such, I assume this is where ubuntu is.
I was going to do a fresh install in to the partition as above, but when trying a fresh install I am not given the option to install over the partition, just a fresh install in the remaining memory, but I don't want to do that.
Can anybody offer any advice on how to get my unbuntu back, as I say, I cannot access unbuntu at all and I am having to use windows 7.
Thanks in advance.
