11.1 Updates Hose Wubi USB Install

[WMConey]

Happened twice, then I repeated to confirm:

Using a Dell 1400 Laptop and Wubi to install 11.1 onto a 16G USB flash drive. Dual booting w/ Win 7 Pro

Initial install went fine & everything worked. Then one day when I picked Ubuntu, I got a "grub;" prompt. After screwing around a bit, I reinstalled 11.1 and all was well again. Today, I ran the Update Manager and when it asked to reboot, I wound up back at "grub:" again.

Anyone know what might be causing this?:confused:

Wubi is unpredictable with updates and upgrades. It was never developed to be a long term install, just a quick way of testing if you like it. Even the main developer himself said that he never planned people will intent to keep using wubi long term.

Personally I always recommend installing ubuntu properly in its own partition as soon as you decide you like it.

Apart from that I am not aware of any exact issue right now, but I do remember wubi 9.10 was also giving loads of problems when updated too.
