You won't need EasyBCD to use Ubuntu, just pop in the latest Ubuntu disc and when Wubi runs follow the instructions. It'll add the boot entry for you.
 
It may be that AMD64 version of Wubi Ubuntu 10.04 is not working properly. The BCD is written properly in the first part of the install ie: the install re-boot works properly. BUT, when the second part of the install runs the BCD is no longer correct.

The correct BCD for Wubi Ubuntu should show the bootloader path as follows:

\ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr

(NOT \NST\AutoNeoGrub4.mbr - auto created when choosing 'WUBI' from EasyBCD menu.)

Is this not correct ? Or am I not understanding something ?

Thanks for your help.

The entries vary because EasyBCD well use NeoGrub as you see in the path to chainload the correct loader.
 
Use the bcdedit command line:

bcdedit /set {xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx} path \ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr

Please check your syntax. My bcdedit doesn't have a /edit command
Thanks.
