Good point bcbc, about the normal ubuntu. So I configured the bcdedit in windows 7 to add ubuntu and it boot to Grub command line waiting for the right command
grub> and blinking dash
From what I understand, it is looking for the right kernel... but remembering about wubi superthread in ubuntuforums and grub.... not too sure how to update grub.
Windows7 is working fine.
I tried to install 12.04 but I received the message that 12.04 was installed, albeit I could not find any traces of it, while looking at the program install/uninstall in windows or looking for missing folder in the windows folders using the unhide command. ckdsk did not return any error.
As for installing ubuntu with wubi... good point... not too sure if i have the correct version, as I always installed the other ubuntu versions with wubi. How do I figure out this last one.
no raid, no multiple HD, this is a netbook, samsung np210
