You're welcome.

Glad to be of help.

Which commands?

Code:
sudo mkdir /win                                       # this makes a directory to mount your windows partition that contains ubuntu at
sudo mount /dev/sda8 /win                             # this actually mounts the partition @ the newly created /win directory
sudo mkdir /vdisk                                     # this makes a directory to mount your ubuntu install
sudo mount -o loop /win/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /vdisk # this command actually mounts the ubuntu / virtual partition
                                                      # Wubi uses a loop file to store the Ubuntu install. 
                                                      # this is why we needed to use the -o loop option for mount
