Hi,
After trying Ubuntu 11.10 out on Wubi, I decided to set up a dedicated partition and install it stand alone. I downloaded and created a bootable USB stick, created an 80Gb partition on my drive using the Windows Disk Management tool, and started the installation. After the successful install using the 'Install Alongside Windows' option, it came to the reboot. However upon rebooting it just booted straight into Windows, with no Boot Menu screen or anything. Checking the disk utility in Windows shows it has installed, there is a 70Gb formatted partition and two 4Gb partitions that it created (after trying the install twice).
How do I get it to work?!
Cheers,
Tom
