I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a computer with Windows on it (and later upgraded to 11.04 and 11.10). Now I can't remember whether Ubuntu was installed inside Windows (Wubi) or in its own partition. How can I find out which is the case?

Open "Add/Remove Programs" from the control panel. Is 'Ubuntu' listed among installed programs? If so, Ubuntu is installed within Windows.
