I had installed ubuntu 11.04 through wubi while using xp. yesteday i upgraded to windows 7. I obviously lost grub. So now i can't boot into ubuntu. I am new to this, so please give me step by step instructions on how to recover my ubuntu installation. i read some other threads and did a boot report. i'll paste that here.

Let a Wubi user look at this bootscript one will come along.
At first I was just thinking you overwrote xp with 7 but now
with bootscript you have 10 partitions and had a more going on at one time. Might need
a little fixing up there. Be patient a wubi user will pop in.

So i won't necessarily need to re install as you said in your last post?

It says that wubildr.mbr does not exist or is corrupted. So in this case what should i do? and in the worst case scenario, if i have to reinstall ubuntu, is there any way of recovering some files from my home folder?
