My PC (dual booting Windows) lost power while I was updating Ubuntu. Now, when I start the computer and enter Ubuntu, I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor. How can I fix the botched install?

Fresh install could be the only fix. It's hard to know what it could have been writing, at the time the power was lost.

You should boot into it with a live disk first, and see if you can access anything in terms of media, or important files you'd want to back up externally.
