The problem is incorrect root= kernel argument in grub.cfg created by Wubi: it uses lowercase uuid while udev creates uppercase uuid symlinks for both FAT and NTFS. (Look at blkid output in comment and the error message in the initial report. I know there is no exact match but I bet that's due to reinstalls.)

To work-around this bug one can change the root UUID to uppercase using grub edit command. After that one should be able to boot. Then go to the terminal and issue 'sudo update-grub' command. I think this should help.

Alternatively you can try to find grub.cfg on your Windows drives and edit it (change root=UUID= to be in uppercase).
