My Dell inspiron 1525 laptop runs Windows Vista Home Premium (Intel Core2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 32-bit operating system). Ubuntu was added in December of 2009 (Karmic) and, until today, has started off a dual-boot menu.
On August 25 2010, I went to Ubuntu and loaded a large number of system updates. The process seemed to go well until it stopped at a question about where to place Grub. I may not have given the correct answer (I told it to proceed) because now the Windows Boot Manager never gets me to Ubuntu. If I select "Ubuntu" in Windows Boot Manager, I get a brief set of messages and then the system takes me back to Windows Boot Manager. Fortunately, at this point I can select Windows and it operates normally.

The messages are:
Try (hd0,0): FAT16: No WUBILDER
Try (hd0,1): NTFS5: No wubildr
Try (hd0,2): NTFS5:
error unknown command 'loadfont'
error file not found

In my files I have the following:
c:\ubuntu\disks\boot\grub (folder is empty)
c:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk (modified 8/25/2010) 17,145,856Kb
c:\ubuntu\disks\swap.disk (modified 12/18/2009) 262,144Kb
c:\ubuntu\install\.fuse_hidden (modified 12/18/2009) 707,376Kb
c:\ubuntu\winboot\wubildr (modified 12/18/2009) 79Kb
c:\ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.cfg (modified 12/18/2009) 2Kb
c:\ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr (modified 12/18/2009) 8Kb
c:\ubuntu.ico (modified 12/18/2009)
c:\uninstall-wubi.exe (modified 12/18/2009)

I am new to using Ubuntu, and would appreciate any help I could get to be able to boot normally as before.

I have removed Ubuntu from this machine and am running it as a Vista-only machine again.
