By the way, HD install is little faster on boot as Wubi, but not a difference launching or using programs. Worth it? not sure, except for security reasons.
First boot your migrated install. Then to install GRUB 2 to the sdX drive's MBR (sda, sdb, etc.)
Code:
sudo grub-install /dev/sdX
For most people that would be:
Code:
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
This will replace the windows bootloader and the next time you boot, you'll see the grub menu first and have to select windows at the bottom of the list.
I think it's worth it to migrate from a reliability/stability point of view. Speed, security? maybe but it depends on how you use the OS and possibly your computer specs.
