Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.
We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures
At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

It seems from reading your description you used the wubi installer from within Windows to create a dual-boot; is this correct?

What version of Wubi are you using? If it is rev 505 there is a known bug, use the uninstaller provided in the WubiGuide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide (see "Cannot uninstall Ubuntu")
