Cannot Boot Ubuntu 12.10 (No wubildr / Cannot find GRLDR)

Question

I'm new to using Ubuntu and installed it using Wubi.exe on Windows 8. I created the partition, booted Ubuntu and everything was fine. I shutdown my laptop for the night and when I attempted to boot Ubuntu i got this screen: http://imgur.com/iKgPVMO

I've searched the forums and found one answer saying to copy "all 3" wubildr files into c\, which I see only two (wubildr and wubilder.mbr). Also my grub folder is empty, there are no hidden files in it what-so-ever. Please help?

Answer 1

It's the wubildr file it cannot find. It looks on all partitions until it finds one. So, maybe it has a problem finding it on C: (for whatever reason). Just copy it to the root of another drive. e.g. D:\wubildr. It doesn't matter which drive.
