http://ubuntuforums.org – I have Ubuntu 11/10 through Windows, by wubi. After some odd behaviours, (windows getting stuck in the main upper bar, and the like), and after a forced shut down because the system was stuck this time, I cannot open Ubuntu anymore. When I have to choose between Windows and Ubuntu, and after choosing this last one, the following lines shows up GNU GRUB version 1.99-12ubuntu5 Minimal Bash-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. Grub> Possible commands are . (Hardware)

Whenever i install Ubuntu 11.10 (64 bit) in Windows 7 (64 bit & i know my Dell Studio 1555 is an 64 bit computer) using wubi.exe after completion of installation i restart the computer to allow Ubuntu to complete the further installation but after restarting i get the following message.

I just installed ubuntu today with WUBI. After installing, the first time I tried to boot it, it gave me this screen:

I tried repeatedly to reboot, and no luck. What it wrong?

Thanks, JT

I dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu, though I use Ubuntu entirely for day-to-day computing. Today I had to switch back to Windows to find an old file, but when I tried to boot back into Ubuntu this odd thing appeared:

Restoring Windows XP from grub 28 weeks 13 hours ago

Previously I have dual boot of Windows XP and Fedora. I have deleted Fedora and extended C drive partition using mini tool partition wizard. Then I have restarted the system with Windows XP bootable CD.

I am a beginner for linux and have so many trouble installing ubuntu. Is there anyone can help me? I choose to install ubuntu alongside win 7. But the boot loader install has failed. When I restart, it shows :

GNU GRUB version 1.99-21ubuntu3.1

Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions.

I am using dual boot windows7/Ubuntu 12 and it has been working just fine in the past.

After my last reboot when I select Ubuntu it goes to a black screen that shows:

GNU GRUB Version 2.00-7 Ubuntu 11
