Dennis,
You seem to be doing something different than I think we are accustomed
to.
WUBI is designed to install inside of a directory of you XP system. This
would be analogous to running Windows inside of a folder in a Linux
system using WINE.
Since I am only running Ubuntu on my system I am unable to test and
duplicate what you are seeing. A couple of the PLUGgers are running
Windows and probably can address that more specifically.
The previous responses to you seem to presume you are booting from a
Live CD version of Ubuntu. I am presuming that is not the case.
Have you looked at this page?
http://www.howtoforge.com/wubi_ubuntu_on_windows
Is your procedure following these steps? If not where is your different?
Do you have a Ubuntu Live CD? How does your system behave when you boot
from it.
Bottom line, I think is more information on process and environment is
needed. The alternative is for us to try and read between the lines and
guess.

Here is what I get:

After the reboot I select Ubuntu, the Ubuntu boot screen starts but then
I have that problem in BuzyBox.
Seams if I hit Esc before it starts booting Ubuntu I can get an edit
screen like that from your link "For Installed Systems That Need
Adjustment". Is that where I add that "acpi=off"?
