Comment 10 for bug 709952

Ok, I googled it (it's a file explorer for windows to see ext2,3,4 partitions) and the question is what I do with it as I don't know any of the Ubuntu extensions and what might need repairing to get it to boot again.

Yes, definitely a reinstall is the best option if that's the case.

But note that running another operating system is way more risky than
installing a little tool like ext2read, if you're concerned about your
wife's computer.

Title:
  Update won't boot

Status in Wubi, Windows Ubuntu Installer:
  Incomplete
Status in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  Downloaded the 64bit desktop with Wubi from Ubuntu.com installed
  Ubuntu 10.10 in XP SP3, started ok 2.6.35-22, updated got a list with
  2.6.35-25 as the default (top) and generic 2.6.35-25 reports...
  "root.disk does not exist" recovery mode for ...-25 is the same error,
  but scrolling down to 2.6.35-22 (or editing it back to ...-22) works
  fine. How do I fix it or change it to default to -22 until a fix is
  found? The editing changes are not saved if I do it from the boot
  options. I'm very new to Ubuntu/Linux, but MCSE for Windows.

  I looked all over the web, user groups, did not find a solution. I
  want to let others use this system and another, but have to explain
  how to get it to boot for them.
