To run Ubuntu as a guest on Windows (concurrent), you will need to install a virtual machine program and then install Ubuntu (not Wubi) to the virtual machine. Popular free virtual machine programs include Virtual Box, VMWare Player, and Bochs. I use Virtual Box on one of my machines to run Ubuntu atop Windows. It works quite well. If you are running more than a single physical hard drive it is good to install the virtual machine and its virtual drive(s) on a hard drive other than the boot drive; that dramatically reduces the amount of drive read/write head thrashing otherwise needed to support two operating environments concurrently; your drives should live much longer.
