I had a wubi install- but it only let me dedicate 60 GB. I quickly ran out of that available space and decided I'd better try one of those tools to move my stuff on a partition of it's own.
I just used LVPM to transfer Wubi to the HDD, and.. it worked. Almost.
All I had to do was edit my grub file. I did that in Wubi, opened the menu.lst file with gksudo and added this just before windows: (I want Ubuntu to be first on the list, ofc)

(Please tell me if anything up there isn't needed, is wrong, or if I left something out..)
Now it makes me press "S" before I can see the login screen at boot-up.
I want the quickest boot possible for Ubuntu, with a way for us to use Windows if needed.
It's looking for an Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 CD, and I have the 10.10 Alternate AMD64 DVD.. and that message doesn't respond at all... I can press "S", and then it goes to the login screen, all works fine. I can update, I looked to see if the check-box for a CD upgrade was checked, but it wasn't.. I ticked the box (just for science), put in the alt-disk, and.... again it waited forever.. So that must be the wrong CD. Unticked it.. Also I just updated this morning fine. Still, that 'Press "S" to skip' at boot up is annoying
Do I have to download the standard Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 ISO again.. (before it kept freezing), or is that futile.. I mean, all it's going to do is downgrade, (if it does anything..) right?
Did LVPM corrupt or neglect to copy something, or.. hm?
How can I get rid of that message?
Edit: Was looking for Windows partition, not a CD.. would help if I knew what I was looking for :P
