A copy of this is in my Forums for discussion....
I installed WUBI 9.10 on a Dell Inspiron 5100 32bit. Was running great till I updated it. After updating it booted to a SH:GRUB> prompt. I did some online research and found a series of commands to get booted into Ubuntu 9.10 then from a terminal window run >sudo update-grub2 which fixed the issue. The key for me was figuring out whether I was on sda, sda1 or sda2 and which version I was on. Checkout the below commands
sh:grub> linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-19-generic root=/dev/sda2 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro
sh:grub> initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-19-generic
sh:grub> boot
After typing "sh:grub> linux /boot/vm" press the TAB key. You get a list of choices. Use the newest vmlinuz-x.xx-xx-generic. Do not use the TAB key for any of the other parts of the command, for example the root=. It will not give you a good list. I've BOLDED the only variables in these commands. The version and the sda?. Also note that in the "initrd" command the version must be the same.
Once you are booted into Ubuntu, open a terminal window and type "sudo update-grub2", press enter, type your root password, press enter again. If you do not see any errors you should be ok. Try to reboot and it should boot ok.
Thats what fixed it for me. Hope this helps for you too.
Here is the forum I found my fix on...
