You can get it to install by replacing the wubildr file that comes with Natty, by one from Maverick. You have to replace the wubildr on the first partition that contains it, not just the one on your windows partition.

There are other issues getting the Natty Alpha 1 to boot:
"Bootloader install failed."
Sorry, an error occurred and it was not possible to install the bootloader at the specified location. How would you like to proceed?
* Choose a different device to install the booloader on (empty drop down box)
* Continue without a bootloader
* Cancel the installation

If you pick the second option it will complete the install, however, the grub.cfg is not created (all that is in /boot/grub is grub.cfg.new and grubenv.

After booting the installed Natty you can create a new WUBILDR and this works.
