Even if it is unrecommended and unsupported? I actually don't mind reinstalling all over again if need be, but is there a Wubi version yet that uses Gutsy?

Now when I boot to Wubi, I see the splash screen while its loading, then just a flashing unresponsive prompt. Since there is no GRUB in this configuration, how can I force Gutsy to boot to a login prompt? I assume from there if just modify my driver back to 'nv' I should be able to boot again. Any ideas?

The tablet came with XP on it and no CD drive so it was a great way to set up dual boot. Still, a few things didn't work right so I hoped to try upgrading to Gutsy. I was going to wait until Wubi included Gutsy officially but what can I say? I'm impatient. I spent about a day downloading and installing the distro upgrade and now when I boot into ubuntu it sits on the startup screen for a while and then dumps me to a "BusyBox v1.1.3 Built-in shell" with a prompt of (initramfs). Hmmm....maybe shoulda stuck with Feisty ;) Hmmm….I have been using Feisty on my tablet via Wubi for a little while now.

Some Googling turned up info about it having to do with USB plug & play. The service that automatically detects USB devices isn't starting due to some error. Luckily, I backed up my Wubi folders on both machines before upgrading so I could go back to Feisty Fawn. These days I'm too busy learning Java (as I type right now at 2:45am) to mess with Ubuntu bugs. I also had problems in Gutsy Gibon with network interfaces. I couldn't get wireless to work on my laptop, and I didn't feel like screwing around with that either. So the lesson learned was don't upgrade unless you're all gung-ho about submitting bug reports and spending hours and hours in online forums looking for solutions to problems. ;-) @Nick: I got the same error, both times when I upgraded my PC at work and a laptop.

Wish I had read the following before trying to download directly to desktop... Windows Millenium has a unique boot mechanism which is not accessible with Wubi. Wubi can not make changes into it, so it can not break it, but it can not use it either. Wubi works with windows 98SE, 2000, XP, and 2003. We will detect and prevent installation on windows millenium in next releases. If you want to try ubuntu, you can perfectly use the CD you burned and carefully follow each step. If it does not work, you can try the live cd (Desktop edition) http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download. I attempted to install wubi on my wife`s old NEC notebook w/ ME…ugghh.
