How To Restore the Wubi Ubuntu Bootloader

Has Ubuntu disappeared from your Windows Boot Manager list after installing it with Wubi?

Here’s how you’re free to quickly restore it and use your Ubuntu as before.

However, several different things can mess up this boot screen.

What’s worse, there’s no apparent way to add it back to Windows.

Once it’s installed, run EasyBCD, and select Add/Remove Entries from the toolbox on the left.

snag the Linux tab in the Add an Entry section on the bottom.

tap the drop-down menu beside key in, and select Wubi from the available options.

you could name your Ubuntu entry whatever you’d like, and then hit the Add Entry button.

You should now have two entries: Windows and Ubuntu.

Now, at the top of the EasyBCD window, click Save, and then exit the program.

So, as soon as you have added the entry in EasyBCD, launch Command Prompt in administrative mode.

To do this, right-click its icon in the start menu and select Run as Administrator.

Note that the Real-mode Boot Sector section contains the information we need to edit.

The path should be \ubuntu\winboot\wuildr.mbr, though this may be different, depending on your setup.
