    I've never used wubi to install Ubuntu but, my understanding is that it is a program or folder inside windows and if you want Ubuntu alone, you will need to create a partition for it and install it in its own partition not as part of a windows partition.

    Yeah, you will need to do a regular install, not using wubi. Back up all your data first, you're going to lose everything on the harddrive.

    When you get to the partitioning step, select use the entire disk.
