Question Answered By: Adah Miller   on Dec 06

You are stuck at grub prompt and not bash so some of the solutions that rely
on bash will not work. You have not even loaded the kernel yet.

I would seriously consider re-installing. BTW, did you do any drive
maintenance before you installed WUBI? You should check the drive for errors
and defragment it as a precaution. The way WUBI works is that it creates a
large image file for Ubuntu to run in and then mount this file as if it was
a drive or partition. If your drive is full, fragmented or has errors then
it will affect the performance or even corrupt the file. If you are going to
re-install then it is worth the extra step.

If you don't want to re-install then I would suggest that you look at other
options besides WUBI. This is a great technology, but it isn't bulletproof.
There are other ways to run Ubuntu with Windows such as dual booting,
andLinux, CoLinux and running it in a VM. If one method does not work others
might work better for you.
