Can you press alt+f4 to see what component did fail?
Also what version of wubi are you using?
Here is the log

The version of wubi I'm using is "wubi-7.04-beta-v3".
press alt+f2
then:
mount -t ext3 /dev/loop7 /target
(watch the white spaces above!)
see if it works.
Ok, when I try that I get the output
Code:mount : Mounting /dev/loop7 on /target failed: Invalid argument
I'm having this exact same problem.
Just some info:
1. I'm trying to install wubi on a mac mini (bootcamp windows xp installation) My windows patition is FAT
2. When i first installed the installer detected my firewire external hdd (g as wubi's root. I unplugged it and reinstalled but still get the same error with detecting cd-rom.
3. I selected the "eject" option under the cd installer option and hit alt f4 which read pretty "mounted /dev/loop7 as target" and then resulted in a complete system freeze. at first i thought it was just reading slow from the hdd. Fell asleep for 2 hours and came back but the system was still locked.

firewire is not supported
did it freeze after you pressed eject? What errors exactly are in /var/log/syslog? (toward the end of the file)3.

i think i may have found the reason why its having trouble mounting the disk image. FAT32 only supports files up to 4 GB in size. Maybe thats why?
