Tib wrote:Hrm, I think he means he's loaded into the LiveDVD, not a fresh install of Linux, which means the GRUB wouldn't exist yet, so there's no file for him to edit. Also, I could be wrong, as this is just a guess, but if the boot-loader entry that was created during the Wubi installation-attempt is what he's trying to get rid of, wouldn't he need to open the boot-loader option in Vista and remove it? I believe that when you do a Wubi install, I don't think it installs GRUB, I think it just adds the boot option to the Windows boot-loader menu (but I could be completely wrong).

heres the break down.
1st. I tired to install UE2.1 in what i believe is called Wubi (inside of windows). just to try it out. when that failed i uninstalled it inside of windows but the boot menu remains. i would like that removed.
2nd. Since the advice i was getting was on the linux side i then tried to install threw the dvd. pretty much dual bios or os on one system. it is currently just the demo and i tried to install. when this occurs it tries to partition my harddrive to set up the dual OS (windows partition and Ubuntu partition) but it remains at 0% when it does this so ubuntu never fully installs and i am stuck with the demo version.
So my problems are, when i start up my system i have a windows boot option and 4 Ubuntu boot options (i tried to install threw wubi a couple of times and failed). i want those 4 removed and i cant figure out how. there is no boot file un grub for me to alter btw. 2nd i am trying to install direct from dvd the full version of Ubuntu. but during the installation it wont go past 0% when partitioning my harddrive. those are my problems.

now i have burned the ultimate-edition-2.1 x64.iso to dvd and set bios to boot off cd.
once it boots to ubuntu that is what i gather the demo version. and on the desktop there is an icon to install. was my 1st problem ( the multiple boot entries) causing my install problem when it tries to write a ubuntu partition on my harddrive?
