Hi all,

I just downloaded the Wubi installer and installed it, and it seemed to go ok, but when I restarted my PC it didn't give me a dual boot option - it just booted straight to Ubuntu. I can't get back to Windows now! Am getting a bit desperate - any ideas please!? Bear in mind that this was my first foray into Ubuntu land so I'm a real novice.

Thanks

James

please post the output of bootinfoscript (my signature).

small suggestion: WUBI is always not a better option for Ubuntu in all cases .

It boots straight into Ubuntu the first time (win7/vista only) but thereafter will give you the option. Have you rebooted again too check?

Sorry guys. BCBC is correct. Real newbie error. I just panicked. THanks.

Good to hear... maybe you can file a bug about it since it really should say something about that to warn you, and I don't think it's good to induce panic ;)

Just click on this link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug to add a bug. You'll need to register on launchpad.net.
