Hi Have posted about this on the main forum and been pointed towards a BCD stores "problem".
I have a Dell Inspiron N5010 with: /dev/sda1 2048 206847 102400 de Dell Utility /dev/sda2 * 206848 20686847 10240000 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda3 20686848 143566847 61440000 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda4 143568894 976771071 416601089 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 143568896 356144984 106288044+ 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda6 356145152 453801983 48828416 83 Linux /dev/sda7 453804032 469426175 7811072 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda8 469428224 938178223 234375000 83 Linux /dev/sda9 938178560 976771071 19296256 b W95 FAT32 sda3 = win7 sda6 = Debian Sid I assume the problem is /dev/sda2 appears to be the boot drive (the "*"? from fdisk above?). I installed wubi on win7 but on reboot I am not seeing the menu to continue install. Apparently I have two bcd stores on sda2 and 3.
