dual boot....
just so you know I did install 10.04 using WUBI and I was running almost ok, but when I upgraded to 10.10 using the upgrade software, the download went okay but froze after I clicked on "restart computer", so I manually powered down and restarted choose "ubuntu" at start-up and nothing, I did get a Gsomething prompt.

this might take a bit to find an answer i am reading different post about this problem . will post it when i find an answer

I am going to post the article here so that others can get help, but I do want to thank you so much for taking the time to help me.

Thanks to GREG T here is the solution which is also available by clicking the link above, I just thought it would be more convenient to have it all on one post.

Re: I upgraded, and now I have this error...
From the release notes:

Upgrading Wubi systems from 10.04 LTS is known to fail, and is not recommended at this time. (653134)
If you have already upgraded and find that the system reboots, hangs or drops you at a grub prompt when selecting Ubuntu (with or without error messages), then first try to replace the c:\wubildr file from the one in c:\ubuntu\winboot\wubildr (change 'drive' if necessary and backup c:\wubildr first as a precaution). This fix has been confirmed by many different people, as it appears that in many cases the upgrade is corrupting the wubildr file.

Otherwise another workaround is to boot a live CD, loop mount the wubi root.disk, edit the grub.cfg (gksu gedit /mountpoint/boot/grub/grub.cfg) and remove all lines above the first "menuentry".

If you get a read-only error on grub.cfg, then either use vi or nano, or before running gedit first run:
sudo chmod +w /mountpoint/boot/grub/grub.cfg
Note: if you install kernel updates, new kernels, remove kernels, run update-grub etc. you'll have to reapply the workaround as grub.cfg is regenerated automatically. It's easier to do this before you reboot (or you'll have to use the live CD again).

did this fix your system ?

Not plain Ubuntu usual installation so we move this thread to Wubi

Wubi installation is known to fail... always install ubuntu over windows especially in a 64- bit system..

Flash has had some problems with 64bit installs. Try a 32bit install instead.

Wubi has a problem with the 10.10 upgrade (as documented in the release notes). Any upgrade is risky (wubi or otherwise) and it's advisable to make a backup first. (or at least secure your data).

PS if your wubi still doesn't boot with the above fix, you might need to repair the virtual disk (root.disk - hard shutdowns can corrupt this file). Instructions can be found in the wubi guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
