[SOLVED] NTLoader + GRUB. Can I remove ntloader and use only GRUB?

$

I installed Ubuntu 12.10 via the windows executable (Wubi). After install my boot goes like this:

1) ntloader - Options "Windows" and "Ubuntu"
2) If I select "Ubuntu" it then displays GRUB which only lists my Ubuntu partition.

So ntloader and GRUB2 are both there.

I would like to get ntloader to go away completely and add my Windows partition into GRUB2. Result should be only GRUB2 on boot with Windows in the list but I am afraid I will break something since I am unfamiliar with Wubi.

Here is some info that might help:
