Did it also say "GRLDR canot be found"?

wubi requires the file C:\wubildr to boot. If it cannot find it then this could be for a few reasons.
1. you or something else deleted it
2. severe disk fragmentation
other...?

If it's missing just copy it from the \ubuntu\winboot directory into C:\

And then it hangs after showing "Try (hd0,x) ... " four times?

Try booting into windows and defragging if C:\wubildr is still there.

Can you help with this problem?
