Dear Friends,

For some reason I can no longer boot into Ubuntu 8.04 and all I get is initramfs + busybox and a warning message saying that it cannot locate root disk.

Wubi guide suggests to perform check disk errors by "Automatically fix file system errors" is checked and click Start in Windows" - my Windows does not allow this to "start" but require the disk check to be performed by restarting the system.

I have googled and tried most other options suggested but to no avail.

I now plan to do a reinstall but would like to seek advise on how I can access data that was on the Wubi/Ubuntu home folder as well e-mails etc.

Thank you for helping out.

see the contents of casper.log by typing
cat casper.log

if it doesnt in one screen then you can setup terminal emulation with different pc and supply console=ttyS0,115200 switch on boot options menu.
