@ buBoo2Age:
based on xissburg's comment above, I'd say his root.disk was on E:, so /host 
did not contain wubildr. So I do think the issue is the same. I should probably 
clarify: I think the end result is the same as bug  604417 (as it should have 
prevented the damage), however, I don't think wubi users should even get to see 
the grub-pc install prompt. So, that's a usability issue as well.

Also, the latest bug you've found where installing the latest updates
drops you at a grub prompt - is probably completely separate and (maybe)
related to the latest kernel update (24). But that's a whole new issue
:)

@xiss burg, when you install a new version of windows(7) over an old one
(xp), then it uses the XP partition to install the boot files. So,
likely when you ran the win 7 repair, you did more than just replace the
bootloader(?), and instead let it repair win7. It's hard to say what
exactly is going on though without seeing more details. Create a new
thread on ubuntuforums.org and use an ubuntu live CD to run the
bootinfoscript at http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net and paste the
results. Maybe we can figure out how to get XP booting again.
