Update - users affected by this bug and have fixed it by patching their MBR may then go on to be affected by bug 682337 (choosing Ubuntu either results in reboot, hang, or grub prompt).

The fix is describe in the Wubi megathread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1639198) Problem #2, Solution #1. Once you have it booting, you need to apply the Permanent Fix documented there.

If you have been affected by the MBR being overwritten you can proactively apply the permanent fix to avoid future problems.
