I had installed Ubuntu 12.04 from Windows 7 using wubi.exe.

For more than 8 months It was running fine. Today I booted into windows 7 then I shut it down properly and tried to boot Ubuntu. I started getting following error.

Try (hd0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr Try (hd0,1):
Try (hd0,1): NTFS5: error "prefix" is not set

I booted windows again, before booting it ran a disk check chkdsk automatically and I noticed that it has deleted swap.disk and root.disk files from the NTFS partition labeled ForUB

I greatly appreciate any help to get my Ubuntu OS & files back.

I had pulled the log content of this event and it is as follows:

Checking file system on E:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Volume label is ForUB.


One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You
may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended
that you continue.
Windows will now check the disk.

Update: After this If I try to boot Ubuntu. It Just loads grub and stops with prompt as follows:

grub>


The central file system control structure of the NTFS file system is the Master File Table. So the above event modified it.

Is there any one who tried to read and edit the MTF?

  • Maybe it's easier to do a new instalation again. – LnxSlck Feb 11 '14 at 10:02
  • @LnxSlck: I really need some of the files which were on that disk. Any hints on solution? – Amol M Kulkarni Feb 11 '14 at 10:06
  • Are you able to do a sucessfull chkdsk? After that when you boot to Ubuntu what erros do you get? It stops where? – LnxSlck Feb 11 '14 at 10:11
  • @LnxSlck: Updated in the question accordingly... Thanks for your help – Amol M Kulkarni Feb 11 '14 at 10:13
  • Have you tried reinstalling GRUB? Booting from a live cd, chrooting your environment and reinstalling grub? – LnxSlck Feb 11 '14 at 14:03
  • If chkdsk deleted the root.disk, you'll need to recover it first before you can boot Ubuntu. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/228709/ubuntu-12-04-wubi-not-starting-root-disk-corrupted PS don't reinstall Grub - it will do nothing other than stop Windows from booting – bcbc Feb 11 '14 at 17:48
