Are you using the WUBI Installer?

The better way to go around is to make some free space on the Hard Disk say 20 GB or whatever suits you. Leave it unallocated, then boot in to the Ubuntu Live CD. Select Guided - Use the largest contigious free space in the partitioner options and go through rest of the setup process. It will automatically install everything, will dual boot Windows and to the most it will be a lot faster than the WUBI install.
