Yes I am able to get to the grub menu, but after that, mount does not happen correctly. Thats why if I check the contents of /host, I get that of C:\, and not the drive where I installed wubi. There is nothing wrong with the grub script (I get correct drive for root).

I am perhaps wrong in generalizing the issue in earlier comment, because I do not get the issue on using clean 9.10 install (WITHOUT updates of kernel and grub). But I can confirm the issue in 10.04 and 10.10, and also in 9.10 by updating to a later kernel than 2.6.31-14 and a later grub2 than 1.97~beta4-1ubuntu3 (the base versions that come with 9.10). I think the issue would be with the later versions of them combined with wubi.

If my BIOS was flipping my devices, then I would have got same issues with 9.10 base install.

I will find the correct bug corresponding to my problem (because I can get to the grub menu unlike being unable to boot any OS at all) and add my comments. But with my experience of using wubi >9.04, it wouldn't be correct to give a green flag to grub2/ wubi and suspect my bios.
