As per the nature of most windows PC out there now, I see the only way
to boot from USB is to access to advanced boot options from the start
menu and request an EFI USB boot.
Well, isn't possible to call that view from a small "wubi" autorun exe?
In this way we just add a "Reboot in EFI mode" button that even an
unexperienced user can use to make the Ubuntu USB stick to boot.
Or at least show a document that explains the process.
It's trivial, but not for most of windows unexperienced users.
