So I installed Ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron and I used the wubi installer inside of windows after i finished the installation it told me take out the cd and reboot. I took out the CD and rebooted my machine. After that i get the screen which asks me to pick the operating system to start:
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Microsoft Windows Recovery Console
Ubuntu
I picked Ubuntu.

After loading for about 15-20 seconds Ubuntu stops loading at almost the third bar to the left and just stays their for a LONG WHILE(about 8 min!!!).It stays at the same thing almost the third bar and it shows me this Note: The error is under Loading hardware drivers
Error Message:
*Loading hardware drivers...
/etc/rcS.d/S10udev: 105: usplash_write: not found
/etc/rcS.d/S10udev: 105: /usr/bin/tput: not found

My Specs:
HP Pavilion a820n ( detailed specs at this location: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=443070&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us)
Intel Pentium 4 3.20 ghz HT
1 GB DDR PC3200
Microsoft Windows XP Home Service Pack 2
ATI Radeon X1550 PCI (not PCI-Express)
200 GB SATA Internal Hard Drive
250 GB Seagate SATA External Hard Drive

One more little thing that i observed:
When i run this same version of Ubuntu under Vmware or Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 booting into Ubuntu works just fine!!
Why is it that it works on a Virtual Machine and not on the actual Boot Up?

please go into bios and change an option which talks about hard disk setting
possibly it says SATA just change it to say IDE . Can not explain what happens but when my installtion failed changing this bios feature worked miracles of course the draw back is you have to do the installation again.

Caution!!!: I did this on a machine with one with Ubuntu only, I don't know if micro$oft Window$ will respond right on that. so this should be exercised with caution...

Maybe.. this question may go to "wubi" forum.
There you can find better answers.. i guess
