Last Night I downloaded some updates, total of around 300 Mb on my Ubuntu 9.10. Then it prompted me to restart the system,. which I did.
After which, my Ubuntu is not loading back to its previous state of Destop. The Grub seems to miss the menu.lst file, as I searched and found out. There seems to be many people on other sites commenting about these, and that this was a bug of Wubi Installer inside Windows; But I need to get these fixed as I have over 10 GB of backup on Ubuntu, which are very dear to me :(


Can someone solve this in an easy way?
Thanks a tonne in advance. :)

To get your backup files, run any liveCD (ubuntu or anyone) and take backup of your backup :D
Then, restart the system and try this.
