I have a laptop that has Windows 7 64-bit as the main OS. I originally installed Ubuntu 10.10 using Wubi so I could have Windows and Linux to choose from at boot up. All worked great up until yesterday when I tried to install Ubuntu 11.04 using Wubi.
Now after the install when I rebooted the Windows boot manager has the option to choose Windows or Ubuntu, when I choose Ubuntu this is what it says:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next".
3. Click "Repair your computer "
If you don't have this disc, contact your system administrator it computer manufacturer for assistance.
File: \ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr
Status: 0xc000000e
Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
I can boot into Windows just fine from the bootloader menu. I tried to uninstall Wubi, deleted the files associated with Wubi, then tried to do a side by side install of Ubuntu 11.04 using a downloaded ISO from Ubuntu's website. I burned it to a disc and booted the CD and did the install that way.
Still I got the same error screen as listed above.
Any ideas as to how I can fix GRUB or add GRUB to my boot up menu so I can boot into Ubuntu 11.04?
