In my case, es hda1 and also the starter (83 id) follow instructions (mount in the same point you already had) In my case / . don't check format opcion but select the file extension you use (in my case ext4) click next and before begin to do anything, cancel the process. Exit. Expulse your live cd and restart. You will see how everything is again as the begining. my problem was the same as your but using 10.10 in hd1, 10.04 in hd5 and I used a 10.04 lucyd live CD to do what I had just explained. Hope to help you and future users. Probably everything was because of a run out battery whith a pen inside usb. I restarted and probably in a wrong way. Note: I am a use, not a programer nor developer and have no idea of linux commands and so on, but I believe and use sense common.

RE: [Bug 581157] Re: Ubuntu 10.4 drops to a BusyBox / Initramfs shell - WON'T BOOT UP AT ALL
I TOTALLY AGREE. I am now very gun shy of using Wubi. It burned me last time. Something went terribly wrong starting w/10.4 regarding the wubi installer. Initially, the ubuntu bug team said that they didn't see any problem and even closed my bug report as being invalid. Then I started getting emails from other wubi users who experience either same thing or something very close. It will be a long time before I venture to try wubi again. Thx. for your email. I take comfort in knowing that I wasn't just imagining all of this. The bug is real.

Thx. 4 the email. Glad to hear that you found a partial solution by way of a new kernel. I don't know of any permanent solution to remove the bug. I am not a developer, just an end-user. I now use Ubuntu by way of it installed BY ITSELF on hard drive. I have not, nor do plan to use the WUBI installer ever again. It cost me a lot. My version of Windows 7 had to be removed off the H/D. I can reinstall Windows 7, its just a pain in the butt. Forunately, I have all my personal files (music, photos, bookmarks, etc.) on my Mac and a external H/D.

I understand. Thx. for letting me know I wasn't the only person struck by the same bug/flaw in Ubuntu 10.4 via the WUBI app. I am back to using Mac OS X Windows 7. Speaking of XP, I can tell you its not as good as Windows 7. XP is stable but as you probably already know, XP is the #1 targeted O/S by Bad Guy Hackers WORLDWIDE. XP is the primary target on their Radar screen. Windows 7 Vista (for that matter) have a few built security features w/in the kernel itself that XP does not have.

No, I am not a developer. I just know a few terminal commands, that's about it. To tell the truth, I've kind of lost interest in Linux and Ubuntu. I do support it and respect it, however. After Windows 7 came out, I started using Windows again as well my Mac. I don't really have more time to waste. Since you I corresponded last, I downloaded 10.4 AGAIN via the wubi-installer website and installed it on my EIDE H/D which has Vista 32bit on it. It installed fine and booted up fine once. Then after I got a bunch of updates, I got A DIFFERENT, BUT SIMILAR ERROR MSG - something about not finding the root directory. Now it won't boot up at all. Whatever happened, it really goofed up my EIDE H/D because the next time I booted it, it automatically went into a CHKDSK and found SEVERAL, SEVERAL PROBLEMS - all of which it was able to fix, THANK GOD. After that, I said no more. I can't believe Canonical has released 10.4 w/no so many, what I consider, serious bugs. Its HORRIBLE! I might try Ubuntu again when 10.10 comes out. Until then, you can forget about it.

For some reason, it seems that Ubuntu installed over Windows is not able to boot if the disk is dirty, meaning that the shutdown was done improperly. It is possible to fix that by logging into Windows and running chkdsk /r. I don't have a Windows system to test that, so I will mark this bug as open and affecting Wubi hoping that someone else can pick up this bug report. ** Changed in: wubi Status: Incomplete = New -- Ubuntu 10.4 drops to a BusyBox / Initramfs shell - WON'T BOOT UP AT ALL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581157 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. _ The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea.

Okay. Understand about the Code of Conduct. Sorry for my crassness and blunt anger. I just believe that 10.4 was release w/such an obvious serious bug. Some other people have had the same problem from my googling it. Have been using Ubuntu for several years. I initially upgraded to 10.4 from w/in Ubuntu 9.04 via the notification of a new version, would you like to upgrade option. It installed and ran fine for only one (1) session. Then after that I imediately had the no root disk found, dropping to a shell error msg.. every time I would try to boot up. So, I uninstalled Ubuntu from Windows 7 Home Premium (64Bit) via the Uninstall App Option w/in the Control Panel of Windows 7. Then I download from Wubi 10.4 and installed it again. It installed at least initially w/no problems and it boot up. Then it got some updates. Then it started to NOT BOOT UP due to the same ole' No root disk found, dropping to a shell error msg. I am using a 64 Bit dual Core AmD PC w/a on a SATA 3.0 H/D w/4GB of SDRAM. The PC is only a year old.
