So i installed ubuntu 11.04 using wubi from window 7. and I have dual boot now. Installation went fine. but after installation completed and it restarted, I get errors. It never boots up. After selecting ubuntu from windows boot menu and selecting ubuntu from the ubuntu boot menu (pinkish menu) I get errors. here is the snap shot of it. http://flic.kr/p/9Fe2BG

HOW ON EARTH DID YOU GET THIS FAR?!
With WUBI when I choose ubuntu to boot it is looking for some MBR file but can't find it.
/ubuntu/winboot/???.MBR I think...
Still looking for a fix. xD
WUBI is fail and always has been for me.

At that pinkish menu choose the recovery kernel second one then safe boot, should be low graphics mode. If you get a cli after the safeboot choice login and run startx.
For the radeon card you probably need a driver look in menu-system-admin-additional drivers for anything needing installed.
Remember no grub updates in wubi they will overwrite the mbr, of the HD.

so like u suggested, i tried safe booting several times. here is the video
http://youtu.be/TpqtKCo4Xbg
first time, it got stuck on the part where it said switching...
second time i got to the menu but before i press enter to select, something happened on its own and screen became pitch black nothing happening
3rd time it also got stuck on a different error.. nothing was happening so i had to do a manual shut down again. and now i just gave up.
so lost.

You chose continue regular boot not fail safe. At least from what I saw. To long of a video to watch the whole thing , I'm working for free here, lol.:)
The recovery kernel gets you to that menu the top line does nothing but continue a regular boot.
Okay watched the whole thing try another safe boot with the e=edit out quiet splash and replace with nomodeset in the first kernel and crtl-x to boot to cli login then starx.
If I am not explaining this well enough let me know, the only answer I can work on is a low graphics boot. I'm not sure this is the problem completely though.
Okay hope you get this working but you have two threads on the same problem, not a good protocol.
