Just tried to do that, now all 4 selections -25,recovery, -22,recovery give the same message.
Last time I tried was when I first sent this message.

Subject: [Bug 709952] Re: Update won't boot

This is a failure in the post install procedure for the 2.6.35-25 kernel
to generate an initial ram disk correctly. Boot the working kernel, go
to a terminal (CTRL+ALT+t) and recreate it using the command I showed.

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.
