Thanks, but when I open EasyBCD a message comes up saying: "The boot configuration data could not be opened. The system could not find the file specified. Would you like to manually load a BCD registry for EasyBCD to manage?" What do I do....? Thanks....again ^_^

I've seen cases where a wubi install doesn't change the time out value
from zero. Check the settings as described here:

The Startup and recovery dialog box enables you to select the default
operating system to start if you have multiple operating systems
installed on your computer. You can also change the time-out value.
These settings are located on the Advanced tab in the System Properties
dialog box.
