This thread is about the issue in wubi due to grub-pc updates, but I
think I should mention here some cases where it happened, WITHOUT ANY
UPDATES at all.
This post is intended for guys who develop and maintain wubi or grub2,
so I would go into detail to provide you most information.

I think the issues mentioned in above comment (#18) correspond more to
bug #626503 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/626503). Sorry for the
inconvenience. I will track that bug for its resolution.

I'm a real newbie. Did I have this problem? I asked a question and
have this reply so far:
Your question #122771 on Wubi changed:

Project: Ubuntu = Wubi
I deleted Ubuntu from this computer and am now running Vista only
Please see bug #626503 for response to Orrin Zirbel's question. While
both bugs have the Grub Update in common, the effect is different. In
this one the machine is completely unbootable while in bug #626503, the
Wubi install doesn't boot, but the Windows installation still boots
okay.

xissburg e-mailed this followup:
I got that wubi log in temp folder.
@Alex, I had the same issue when testing the MBR issue with the latest
updates: choosing Ubuntu ends up at a grub prompt.I am assuming your
wubi is on /dev/sda3 based on your comments:
This is the easy way but may not work:
grub configfile (hd0,3)/ubuntu/winboot/wubildr.cfg
This is the long way:
Question for BCBD: what if the bug is not about whether its the same
partition as windows is on (because in xissburg's case it was the same

or not? Because in xissburg's case Wubi was installed on a partition

Hey. So, those 'steps to reproduce' are exactly what I did for this to
happen.
After the installation of Ubuntu through Wubi from Windows 7, it worked
fine. I got to boot in my system normally in all OSes. I ignored the
Ubuntu updates in the first time, but then I decided to download and
install
@ buBoo2Age:
based on xissburg's comment above, I'd say his root.disk was on E:, so /host
did not contain wubildr. So I do think the issue is the same. I should probably
clarify: I think the end result is the same as bug 604417 (as it should have
prevented the damage), however, I don't think
@xiss burg, @bcbc, okay xissburg clarified something i'd not known: that
on xiss burg's system Wubi was installed not on the Windows 7 partition,
but on another partition that didn't have a windows system on it. So
this seems to reinforce bcbc's theory that the key is installing Wubi on
a non
