I did another wipe HD and image install with another wubi install, no joy. Same problem. I did some more looking around and it seems that the wubildr folder is on each partition. When I look into the folders some of them are empty. I went into the ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr folder and changed the (try) lines. What happened is I didn't get the system dropping into the shell. So, I think that everything is working up to the folders installed the the H drive but they are either broken or the scripts can't find the necessary bits.

I am going to wipe the system again tonight and try an install of wubi to the C:\ hd0,0? drive and see if it works. If it does then we will know that the basic operation is good and that trying to install to another partition other than the main windows "root" C:\ is causing the problem. Right now I am installing to the H partition.
