Did you install Ubuntu using Wui or on it's own partition?

Just in case that link doesn't work for you, here is a quote:

"Ubuntu is not installed as the default boot option, you have to
select it in the windows boot menu. To change that, in windows XP go
to control_panel > system > advanced > startup_and_recovery and edit
the "Default Operating System", if you want you can change the timeout
as well. "

It seems my first email never made it through. The link I was referring to was: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How%20do%20I%20make%20Ubuntu%20the%20default%20boot%20option?

Ok. To change your default boot option you need to do in from inside
Windows. Directions can be found here:

Can you help with this problem?
