12.04 LTS with Windows 7 dual booted.

I installed Ubuntu from windows 7 via WUBI so that I can dual boot both.

When I try to boot Ubuntu the grub menu appears and I am not able to boot Ubuntu

I have some important data stored in it.

grub menu displays this message 

GNU GRUB version 1.99.21ubuntu 3.14
minimal BASH-like line editing is supported for the first word ,TAB lists possible command completion, Anywhere else RAB lists possible device or file complete.

  • Okay, to get the data back create a Live CD or USB http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-ubuntu-desktop and then you can browse the partition and copy it to an external storage medium. – Tim Dec 06 '14 at 10:57
  • if i made the ubuntu 12.04 lts live usb can i acces my opt folder ? – user3801239 Dec 06 '14 at 10:59
  • Yes, you can access the internal HDD and copy any data off it. You can do that with any computer - it's a method of hacking... :) – Tim Dec 06 '14 at 11:03

  • Are you sure you are accessing the opt folder on the hard drive, not the currently booted live CD. When you boot it, in the sidebar will be a hdd icon with a funny name. That's where all your data is. – Tim Dec 06 '14 at 12:47
  • i was unable to find it . i instaled ubuntu via wubi i do not have ubuntu partion .and i am unable to see any funny name folder on the left side bar – user3801239 Dec 06 '14 at 13:21
