ok driving me mad. have wubi install of ubuntu 10.04 on ide hard drive(/dev/sdc1) on machine.
when go boot goes above error message , can't find root-disk although defo there lol. if use recovery mode can text based log-in , run "startx" desktop. "quelle surprise", root-disk must there after all
having done reading on this, common cause seems windows file system (ntfs) marked "dirty" .i have run chkdsk /r on drive in windows many times ... , seems ok.
tried moving ubuntu folder , wubi.mbr , other config file onto drive, deleting partition , formatting /dev/sdc1 , moving moving wubi stuff thinking "dirty" washed snow white, no ...still same problem.
there has answer somewhere, stumped. suggestions?

ok ...bit of update. after wiping , reformatting disk containing wubi error on start has changed. :
error: device not exist (string of numbers)
error: cannot find c/h/s values

boots (so far). possibly deleting partition have changed volume id? fact can't find c/h/s values bit concerning. possibly hard drive has serious errors? smart doesn't show ...
