Did you install ubuntu to the HDD, or did you do an install under wubi?

I installed it to my hard drive and what is wubi?

probably i have two hard drives i installed it on my first hard drive it happened the same with Kubuntu as well...

You are not getting the grub bootloader installed to the hard disk which is being booted, so the same old stuff is what you see.

You need to include more detail about what physical hard disks you have, which you installed to, which ubuntu you installed, and which installer.

wubi can organise an ubuntu installation within Windows filesystem, which can be booted as an alternative to Windows (using the Windows boot menu).
