Error, then black screen after wubi 11.10

Question

I installed Ubuntu 11.10 via Wubi and when I boot intu Ubuntu using the boot up menu, I get this error:

Try (hd 0,0) NTFS5: No wubildr
Try (hd 0,1) NTFS5: No wubildr
Try (hd 0,2) NTFS5: Error: "prefix" not set.

Then, I get a blank purple screen, which turns completely black and stays there.
What should I do?

Well, I don't know if this is going to solve your problem, but if I face this situation, my first shot is to:

Fully de-install Wubi,
Turn off Windows completely (pull it out from power source for at least 10 seconds, in your case take off the battery too for at least 30 seconds),
reboot,
re-install Wubi from zero.

My first try with Wubi failed too; with other hardware configuration. A good search in Google usually finds a good solution for this situation too.
