    Hello,

    Maybe you've installed it on a dedicated partition rather than alongside your Windows?

    And also i can't even get into ubuntu most of the time this is also why i want to reload it

    Can you explain a bit more on this?

    Well ten percent of the time it will go though. the rest of the time it says this


    try [hd0.0] nt5s5 then about a minute later this pops up


    GNU GRUB VERSION 1.97 Beta4 [Minimal bask-like line editing is supported for the first word tab lists possible commands completions any where else tab list possible device/file completions 

    then is shows this below with a blinking _

    Shi GRUB>_


    And when i hit tab and type in all the things it has listed only exit and reboot does stuff the reboot will reboot it and exit will lock it up i can't do nothing i can't exit i can't type anything else in

    I do remember ubuntu being in add and remove programs

    I used wubi to download it

      Hello,

      I assume that the GRUB Prompt appears when you try to boot. If its not so, please let me know.

      In the
      sh:Grub>
      Prompt, type exactly the following code:

      Code: [Select]
      root (hd0,0)
      chainloader +1
      boot

      It should boot Windows. We can move on with a positive reply from your side.

        isnt root (hd0,0) the recovery ?
        or should it be root (hd0,1)
