Upgrade failed using wubi.
1. It installed grub to my MBR due to user error. Computer wouldn't boot windows or Ubuntu. Repairing bootloader makes computer bootable.
2. Wubi still fails to boot.
Error: unknown command: loadfont
Error: unknown command: gfxterm
...
Error: file not found
Reboots
1. Installed wubi 10.04.1 on drive E: (fat32) with a 5GB install.
2. Ran updates
3. Checked for more updates - none
4. Ran 'update-manager -d -c'
5. Update manager showed "New Ubuntu release '10.10' is available"
6. Click on Upgrade
7. Showed Release notes "This is a ALPHA release. Do not install it on production machines"
8. Clicked on upgrade
prompted to download 510MB of data etc. clicked to proceed
Getting new packages - 1053 files downloaded.
9. Installed grub bootloader:
=============================
Eventually a screen popped up:
Title: Debconf on ubuntu
Banner: Configuring grub-pc
Checkbox: Continue without installing GRUB?
Button: Help
I clicked on Help:
You chose not to install GRUB to any devices. If you continue the boot loader may not be properly configured and when your computer next starts up it will use whatever was previously in the boot sector. If there is an earlier version of GRUB 2 in the boot sector, it may be unable to load modules or handle the current configuration file.
If you are already running a different boot loader and want to carry on doing so, or if this is a special environment where you do not need a boot loader, then you should continue anyway. Otherwise you should install GRUB somewhere.
Button: Close
I clicked Forward
it presented three options
/dev/sda (78518MB, ST98823AS)
/dev/sdb (100256 MB, OneTouch_II)
/dev/loop0 (1472MB, ???
Since I don't know what a boot loader or boot sector is, so I selected /dev/sda (my internal drive) and hit forward. Now my computer won't boot. No such device.
Bootinfoscript reports: Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in partition #256 for /boot/grub
10. Repaired drive MBR
======================
Reinstalled correct bootloader
11. Rebooted
============
Wubi install will not boot due to unknown commands and file not found.
