i did a normal ubuntu install, but when it asked if i wanted it side by side with windows i clicked"yes"---what it did was install onto 85 gig of logical partition i had left over from deleting another operating system---my windows system is fine, but i wondered whether, as it stands now if the windows system crashed would the ubuntu in logical partition still boot ---i wanted a backup os in case anything happened to windows---sorry i was unclear, hope this is a little clearer ---when i installed it there was no indication that it was using wubi at any time---
