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---
