Comment 39 for bug 653134

I could not get mine to work. I must have screwed something up when trying cause I lost all of my windows vista. Its all gone, my files, itunes and everything. But now I have the new 10.10. I loaded my 10.04 live back on the computer, then upgraded from the update manager like I did the first time but it worked this time.

Subject: [Bug 653134] Re: Can't boot Ubuntu after an upgrade from 10.04.1 to
 10.10

Any update on this?

Some users reported copying the wubildr from the c:\ubuntu\winboot\ directory over c:\wubildr fixed the problem for them - which doesn't make much sense to me - but I've seen 3 comments stating that this worked. My own broken wubi install is still the same (error: no suitable mode).
Others are applying the workaround to loop mount the root.disk and edit the grub.cfg. But obviously this is a pain and will have to be repeated after each kernel update.
