Hello Expert,
I am newbee in Ubuntu and recently switched to it from windows in order to work on Hadoop & Hbase.
Few days back I successfully installed Ubuntu through wubi in the same partition where windows locate and also made environment for hadoop successfully.
But due to some reasons I had to reinstall windows 7, however of course I didn't want to loose my data of ubuntu, so I backuped my wubi/ubuntu folder into my external Hard disk so that I can restore it when I would be done with new windows. So now I have reinstalled windows 7 and I have also installed wubi in different partition successfully. Now I want to restore my wubi backup data into my current wubi installation so that I don't need to configure anything.
In this regards, I am following this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1796794 to restore my previous wubi installation.
In this thread, Rubi1200 suggest that "select Ubuntu from the GRUB menu and press "e" to edit." but in my case I don't see grub menu but Instead I see windows boot loader given in attachement. My question is how can I show grub menu in order to follow the steps mentioned in a given thead.
Please suggest me solution step by step as I am novice in ubuntu. I hope I have explained my question well in order to get accurate response.
Thanks In Adavance.
