In a terminal (ctrl-alt-T), type

mount

If you see that your root directory ("/") is mounted on something like "/dev/sda7", then your installation is on that partition. If in doubt, post the result of that command here.

If mount shows something like

/dev/loop0 /

it means that you did not manage to install the grub loader correctly, and you still use the Windows loader to get to the WUBI installation.

Follow these instructions to install grub.

Make sure that on /dev/sda7 you have the copy of the system (you can use the LiveCD to boot the system that is installed on /dev/sda7 to see whether it was installed correctly)

Given that your new system is mounted in WUBI /dev/sda7 on /media/ce0c18e4-3d5d-466b-ba64-e19f1b129957, run
```
sudo grub-install –-root-directory=/media/ce0c18e4-3d5d-466b-ba64-e19f1b129957 /dev/sda
```

This should install Grub to /dev/sda and allow you to boot in Ubuntu.
