1Do not use wubi. It has not been updated to work with gpt partitioned drives that all new UEFI based systems have. Review these: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI and: http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-uefi-support – oldfred May 21 '15 at 22:44

You need to get your boot options menu from BIOS (EFI) and tell it to boot from the USB: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C50dJf5MweM (That first option in Wubi, all it does is restart the computer... literally nothing else). – bcbc May 21 '15 at 23:57

Wubi runs like a windows program. I've not had much experience with it, but I know that it does not need or make its own partition. It simply installs into the c: (or wherever).
In my experience, the best way to install a dual boot is to boot up from the ubuntu USB, and then (if everything is working) install from there. This will give you the option to select which partition to use for the Ubunut install.
