    I started my computer up this morning (i have XP but am using Wubi to dual boot Ubuntu) after the first Ubuntu loading screen i get this dialog:

    BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-3ubuntu3) Built-in shell (ash)
    Enter 'help' for a list of built in commands.

    (initramfs)_



    anyone know what i can do?

    Boot an older kernel, or if that isn't an option, boot a rescue CD and recompile your kernel making sure your FS support is setup properly for Ubuntu.
