Did I do it right (Fedora, then Ubuntu)?

[Gibson486]

I tried installing a Linux variant to do a dual boot.

First, it was Fedora. I partitioned the HD ad dedicated 30GB for Fedora. I tried installing from a thumb drive with the Fedora thumb drive loader program...no go. It tries to enter the OS, then it just stops. I try an older version (Fedora 14), I get in, it installs. Now, after installation, I try to boot to Fedora...Success? Nope. It just fails and freezes upon starting up the OS. I say screw it, I will go back to Ubuntu.

Without doing research, I just get rid of the partitions that would hold Fedora. Bad idea. I elected to have Grub overwrite Windows' MBR. Arggggg....my fault...although, it's only a 30 second fix if you have the Windows 7 disc.

I fix MBR, I install Ubuntu via Wubi. It automatically sets up the dual boot for you. Nice.

After I select Ubuntu in the dual boot menu, it then proceeds to go to Grub. Is this supposed to happen? Shouldn't it go straight to Ubuntu?

Seems to me it shouldn't use grub at all. I've only briefly played with wubi as it isn't a proper dual boot(but good enough for playing), so I may be misremembering.
