need Ubuntu help
i have side by side Ubuntu and Windows XP 64 bit.

i recently installed Ubuntu and it was working excellent until the last batch of updates i ran for it.
as soon as i did that and rebooted it took me to a menu that said:

GNU GRUB version 1.97~ beta4

Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported...


i've googled this and i can't make heads or tails of anything i'm pulling up except that it seems to be some problem communicating with the kernel.

does anyone know where i can find a patch, or wat the command code is to get Ubuntu to boot?

any help is always greatly appreciated!!

2. man, i'm screwed.
i've been reading one suggestion after another and i am LOST.

i'm not completely stupid though.

if i had step by step commands to enter in i could do that.

i have no idea what most of what their talking about even means. i'm really new to Ubuntu.
i'm still shocked that this all started because of updates.

realized i being a whiner and decided to keep looking.

next page i find this: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Wubi_9.10

this fixed it.

corrupted wubibldr file. replaced that and it booted easy peasy.
thank you for the link. i had to click on a few things to get to it but i found it from the original link you gave me.

THANK YOU!!
