I had the same problem using 10.04.

After running wubi-r187.exe I reboot and get "Try (hd0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr".
Sometimes it immediately reboots, but mostly it just hangs.

Hardware is: Asus eeePC 901 with 2Gb RAM.
OS: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit.
Disk 0: ASUS-Phison SSD 3.76Gb
Disk 1: RunCore 128G-C SSD 120Gb

Disk 0 has one EFI boot partition and rest is free space
Disk 1 has two Partitions (system reserved 100Mb NTFS and 120Gb C: NTFS)
Disk 1 is setup to appear to be (hd0) in BIOS.

After much, much, much hacking around... I finally got it to work by assigning a drive letter to the system reserved partition (100Mb) partition and copying the wubi boot files there. On reboot I had to hit ESC and choose ACPI workarounds and then it installed perfectly. Unassign the drive letter for the system reserved partition is fine after Ubuntu has been installed...

I assume its supposed to move on to scanning additional hard disk partiitons looking for wubildr but something about the Windows System Reserved partition is causing it to crash...??? If you'd like any additional info, please email...
