    Hi
    I used WUBI to install Ubuntu. Now, it shows the windows 7 boot loader, then when you go to Ubuntu, GRUB shows, and you have the option for Ubuntu or 7...again. So, i went into 7, took ownership of Boot.INI, defaulted ubuntu, and still nothing. Now, the Win boot loader shows "Windows 7 Ultimate, Ubuntu, and Windows(default)" on three seperate lines. Whats a guy to do?

    Wubi installs Linux inside Windows. Live desktop installs GRUB...;)

    No, WUBI installs Ubuntu using Windows. It is just an easier way than using a CD. I get the Windows Boot Screen:

    I select Ubuntu.

    Then, GRUB.

    Easier but Bored is correct; it is installed inside Windows.
