wubi error 15

[BigFoot2012]

I deleted a partition with no information on it and extended the space back to the C drive on Win 7. Afterward, I tried to boot ubuntu and received the following:

[Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For
the first word, TAB lists possible command
completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename.]


I was able to boot by:root (hd0,0), chainloader +1, boot. Any advice on how to fix this?

I do not know wubi enough to help.

Does Windows boot ok?

What did you use to resize Windows c: drive?
Windows normally wants to run chkdsk after a resize, did that run without any issues?

Windows 7 runs just fine. I used the disk management to create the partition and deleted it later that day. I even did a system restore to earlier in the day before I had created the partition and that did not work neither. I'll try this from wubi guide link you shared. Thanks a lot.

How can I access my Wubi install and repair my install if it won't boot?

Boot the Ubuntu Desktop CD, or another LiveCD, then mount the windows partition:

sudo mkdir /win
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /winReplace sda1 with the appropriate device (a = disk, 1 = partition number), then mount the virtual disk therein

sudo mkdir /vdisk
sudo mount -o loop /win/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /vdiskNow the content of the virtual disk will be visible under /vdisk. 7.04 users will have to install ntfs-3g first and specify it as fstype to gain r/w access.
To check the filesystem you can use (make sure the root.disk is not mounted):

sudo fsck /win/ubuntu/disks/root.disk

[BigFoot2012]

It didn't work. I entered: sudo mount /dev/sda2 /win. And received: Mount is denied b/c the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which could be identified for example by the "fuser" command.

I just need someone who understands the boot script and could give me the correct commands to enter in the terminal. I tried "sda2" b/c that is where wubi is on my boot script and when I tried "sdb1" instead it says special device does not exist.

[oldfred]

It should be sda2.

Did you use liveCd to look at partition as then it is mounted and you have to unmount it.

To see what is mounted:
mount
To unmount (spelling is correct) by device:
umount /dev/sda2
or
umount /media/sda2

[BigFoot2012]

I didn't use a live cd or desktop cd because I can boot into Ubuntu when prompted with "Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported." Then enter... root (hd0,0), chainloader +1, boot. So I am currently trying to fix the issue using the terminal in Ubuntu. Thanks

[BigFoot2012]

Here's how I solved it:
