I have installed Ubuntu to my hard drive using Wubi. The installation seemed to be successful; however, after rebooting my PC I am not brought to a boot menu, and Windows just starts normally. When I manually force my computer to a boot menu, Ubuntu is not listed.

For XP, right click
My Computer
, click onProperties
, click theAdvanced
tab,Startup & Recovery
settings.Make sure that the
Time to display operating systems
is 10.If the timeout is not zero, then in rare cases there is a line missing from the end of the C:\boot.ini required to boot Ubuntu:
C:\wubildr.mbr = "Ubuntu"
If you decide to edit the boot.ini, make sure you back it up, and edit it from the same place.
It should look something like this:
For Windows 7, right click on
Computer
,Properties
,Advanced system settings
(on the left):Then click on
Startup & Recovery
settings:Make sure the
Time to display list of operations systems
is set to 10 or above. If that's not the problem, runCMD.EXE
selecting toRun as an administrator
, then enterbcdedit
to make sure there is an entry for Ubuntu.
