Comment 52 for bug 477104

This bug affected me too. However, none of the workaround to manually boot the system failed for the fact that no hard disks were listed under /dev/

I have no idea why.

when i do
sh:grub> ls

i get something like
(loop0) (hd 0) (hd 0,1) (hd 0,2) (hd 1) (hd 1,1) (hd 0,2)

but there is no /dev/sdxx

I have tried every single suggestion here, but the fact of the matter /dev/sdxx are not there and i cant boot. I resorted to re-installing the wubi all over again..
