Thanks for filing this and taking the time to make Ubuntu better. Your bug looks similar to this one:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/862003

Can you tell me what kind of drive E: is?

[chris edwards (cledwards00)]

Drive is a virtual machine that I plan on getting rid of. If that's causing the problem I will remove it and re-install.

Thanks,

You don't need to reinstall. Or do anything with that drive. The install is
successful. Just reboot.

[chris edwards (cledwards00)]

Take back on what the E: drive was, the virtual machine did not create its own drive. The only other thing I can think of would be the windows recovery partition. By the way the reboot works like a charm thanks for the help.
