I am a newbie and really did not wish to mess with wubi/winblows so I have done this (found after days of searching so to whoever wrote it, many thanks) and it worked for me:

sh:grub>insmod ntfs
sh:grub>set root=(hd0,1)
sh:grub>loopback loop0 /ubuntu/disks/root.disk
sh:grub>set root=(loop0)
sh:grub>linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-17-generic root=/dev/sda1 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro
sh:grub>initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-17-generic
sh:grub>boot

Once booted I went into terminal and did this:
sudo update-grub

No problems booting anymore.
