HELP Ubuntu wont boot after updates!

[brucekev]

Hi I have Ubuntu 10.4 Netbook remix installed on an Acer Aspire one netbook. I just did about 200MB of updates and now it won't boot into Ubuntu. It is a Wubi installation.

When I try to boot into ubuntu I get the following:
First a couple of references to drives flash on the screen,
Then I get a text screen with the following:
Error: unknown command: loadfont
Error: file not found

Then after a few seconds the screen goes blank.

I would like to recover the installation or at least recover the files on the 'linux partition' (altho it is not really a partition but a file as it is a wubi install)

Any help would be appreciated. Can I access it (the data) via a liveCD/USB boot sufficiently to either repair the installation or copy off the data?

Thanks
Kev
