Does the GRUB menu show up when you boot your computer? It should have Ubuntu listed on top. The reason why the wubi/boot/grub/menu.lst in Windows still points at the virtual disks are because that's the old Wubi installation; LVPM doesn't delete the original Wubi install.
To check to make sure whether or not you're booting into the real-partition install or the loopmounted one, use this command:
And check the output, if it contains /media/host/wubi/disks/system.virtual.disk then it's the loopmounted install, otherwise, if it doesn't have that line and it has something like /dev/disk-by-uuid... / .... it's the real-partition install (in which case you don't have a problem, and you can just uninstall the original Wubi install from Windows to end up with only the real install).Code:cat /proc/mounts
Anyhow the issue could either be that the install didn't get copied over, or that GRUB didn't get installed. To see if the install got copied over, boot Ubuntu, and you should be able to see an additional partition under places -> computer, mount it and see if it has the necessary files in it; namely, if it has a boot folder, and if it has grub/menu.lst within that boot folder (in the partition's folder, like /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst, not in /boot), see if that looks correct (check the end, the second line in each entry, after title, should be "root (hd0,0)" or so, not "find --set-root --ignore-floppies /wubi/boot/linux").
If it does, then the issue is simply that GRUB didn't get installed to the MBR for some reason, to get grub installed to the MBR, try this:
Then reboot and see if the GRUB menu shows up. In that command, I'm assuming your hard drive is /dev/sda, and that it's mounted at /media/disk, adjust the parameters accordingly, if you don't know if the hard drive is /dev/sda or something else, use the command:Code:sudo grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/media/disk
And that'll tell you what it is. Also, if that doesn't work either, see if the Super Grub Disk is able to boot it, it can recover and repair GRUB installs.Code:sudo fdisk -l | grep "Disk /dev/"
