Wubi

Windows Boot Manager is not loading up Ubuntu

Asked by Brandon Ciappara

Story:
For my first time have installed Ubuntu on the another partion & had a problem with my internet connection, so I have deleted the files & re-download & installed & everything was working perfectly. I had to grow more GB to my partion & deleted ubuntu. then again re-download ubuntu & installed & this time when I reboot I didn't saw windows boot manager. I format the partion & re-download, installed but, the same problem. I rapidly press TAB in the startup & the windows boot manager has load it up but, Ubuntu wasn't there.

Main Problem: I can't see Ubuntu in Windows Boot Manager!!

Computer Details:
  Windows 7
  1 TB HDD
  Core i3

Please reply & answer step by step as I'm not a computer expert so I will get mixed up.
      IN THE INSTALLATION I MADE IT 17GB

Hi... here are a couple of tips for the future.
1. Always uninstall a Wubi install through the control panel - Add/remove programs. Look for the Ubuntu entry and remove it.
2. If you need to resize a wubi install you can do it without uninstalling/reinstalling: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1625371

So as to your current issue, right click on "Computer", properties, Advanced system settings, Startup & recovery settings. Check that Ubuntu is in the default OS drop down list (warning don't set it as default). If it's not there report back.
If Ubuntu is in that drop down list, make sure that the "Time to display list of operating systems" is set to 10.

Thanks for having time to help me!! But it hasn't solved my answer but you told me to report back if I don't see it in the drop-down list menu, as happened.

Main problem: Can't see it my drop-down list

  Thanks & BTW I am just re-downloading to try,
& When I'm uninstalling IT (NOT EVERYTHING) from c-panel, error occurs.
