If you have ever tried to install Ubuntu 9.10 using Wubi in a dual boot, you will notice it wont boot into Ubuntu, it fails. (Error 15 I think it is called: Cannot find certain Grub boot files) As of now there is no real fix but i found a way to get around this mess. OUTCOME: get 9.10 (Or latest version) running in sucesful Wubi Dualboot with windows.
Here is how:
-Install 9.04 jaunty first:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/jaunty/
-Finish the install with Wubi like any other (on Windows partition or your own that is above 30gigs)
-boot into Ubuntu, finish the install. THen go into Update service, and click install the latest version of Ubuntu (As of now 9.10).
Now u will have Ubuntu 9.10 (Or the latest out there when you read this topic) sucesfully dualbooting with windows working around Error 15 Where the files are not found.
If you want a detailed video, here is one i put together with voice and all, just though I post how to do this cos I know alot of forum sites state this problem lol. This forum site seems to be the best about linux tho :D
