If you can see Ubuntu but you cannot move the selection it means that the keyboard is not supported by BIOS/ntldr. Sometimes there is a setting in the BIOS that makes things work otherwise a different keyboard would need to be used. Try to (de)activate "USB Legacy Support" in BIOS or change similar settings referring to USB/keyboards. You can use a ps2 keyboard too if it's possible. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=850864 https://answers.launchpad.net/wubi/+question/7517 This is not a wubi specific problem, but a windows issue.
