Wubi Error 15

[K_REY_C]

Here's what I did:

Boot from live ubuntu 8.04 CD

Go to 'places' and 'mount ??.? GB hard drive'

saw "found.000"

Navigated into the folder. This is what I saw:

1) Folder: "boot"
2) Folder: "shared"
3) "root.disk"
4) "swap.disk"

I moved all four of the above files/folders into c:\ubuntu

I rebooted... and got the same error message I did before:

find --set-root --ignore-floppies /ubuntu/install/boot/grub/menu.lst

Error 15: File not found

Press any key to continue...

------------

Any further help or suggestions appreciated.

Is there anyway I can simply salvage my files w/in ubuntu and do a clean reinstall?

Thanks so much,

K_REY_C

Solved my own problem:

Had to create a folder named "disks" into which I placed "root.disk" and the folder "boot" to reflect the advice below.

Thanks for all of your amazing help.

No I'm off to shrinking Windows and creating a true partition for ubuntu. Hopefully less problems with that.

Thanks again all.

You have to take the files/folders in there and move them to their original place.

In particular you should end up with:

c:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk
c:\ubuntu\disks\boot\grub\menu.lst

Thank you so much K_REY_C! You made my day, I'm back on linux now.

I was looking for "found000" instead of "found.000", no wonder I couldn't find it.

I freaked out so much I was gonna lose my data!

Anyway thanks again

This thread was one of my first -- I thought I'd come back to say that this problem w/ windows is what convinced me to switch to GNU/Linux full time. After I rescued my files I installed ubuntu over the entire windows install. I haven't used windows since.
