I am trying to install Ubuntu inside Windows 7 without the hassle of creating a partition. Here's what I have done: I downloaded the ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso and then burned it onto CD. Ran Wubi from the CD. Selected "Install inside Windows". Waited for the Ubuntu installer to finish and then rebooted. Selected Ubuntu. Ubuntu starts to load and all. Then it ask me to pick which partition where to install Ubuntu. I don't want to create a partition to install Ubuntu. I want it inside Windows.
when i try to install ubuntu 10.04 inside windows xp from inside running windows XP by pop up windows screen which run automatically when i put CD into CD rom drive , I find message appear to me that the installer will download the iso file and take time (as downloading time ) although that I install the ubuntu 10.04 from official original CD that I got it via Post and its size about 699 mbs.
I have ubuntu 10.04 running inside windows and want to make it the proprietary OS. I have an acer aspire 5517, are there any problems associated with this laptop's hardware and ubuntu.
I recently installed Lucid Lynx inside my Windows XP using Wubi. When I restart I don't have a boot screen giving me the option to boot into either or, it just boots directly into XP. How do I fix this so I can boot into Lucid?

When I installed Ubuntu, it created a folder called 'ubuntu' on my hard drive. Is there a way to recover my data from this folder and use it with a newer version of ubuntu. I can't access Ubuntu on my computer. It boots straight into Windows.

Let's say I install Ubuntu in a way that I use VirtualBox with it, so I can run it inside of Windows.
If you use a Linux-incompatible keylogger such as eBlaster on my computer, will it still record my keystrokes because I'm running it in Windows? Or will it be unable to detect anything since I'd be typing in Ubuntu?
I'm thinking of installing Ubuntu, but before I do that I'd like to know if installing it removes your copy of Windows. If it does, is there any way I can work around that?
When I bought my computer from a friend, he told me that it had 60Gbs in it. Well, when I began to install Ubuntu Linx 9.10 I came to the point of decission of whether or not to delete Windows XP or run Ubuntu 9.10 along with Windows XP. I had a decision to make and I honestly thought I had enough free space to run both. I kept on having problems bringing up Ubuntu. It would go so far and then it would freeze. Well I updated GNOME and I was able to login and try a few things. I of course downloaded and installed the program that I needed to run the program that was running my online radio station. I also downloaded a scanner for to check virusus. I then tried to download some other softwear but I deleted them and kept the scanner and the other program that plays my radio station. Since I did that I logged out and shut down the computer. I haven't been able to get to the point to where I can login again. It freezes. How can I add more memory of free space to run Ubutu. If there is no way of doing that how can I delete Ubuntu and start all over again so that I can again install Ubuntu Linux 9.10 and take off Windows XP so I can run Ubuntu. I really do like the Ubuntu's system. It is so very quick bringing up websites. I have a 32bit download on the CD. I found out the computer was only 16Gbs.
I have installed ubuntu 10.10 inside windows 7. I have allocated 15 GB hard disc size for it which is almost filled. So I want to increase the size of hard disc partition allocated for ubuntu 10.10. Can i do that? If yes then how?
I have installed windows xp (service pack 2) on my pc. later i formatted a partition (drive E and installed ubuntu linux 8.04. I have provided 2gb space for SWAP partition and remaining for root (/). I have done this manually. Installation was completed, and ubuntu asked me to reboot the system. I did so.
Now comes my problem.......I am getting some DHCP connection or some thing weird.......after that i am getting a message ......and with a message asking me to press any key.....the same thing is coming even after restarting the system....i am unable to see both windows and linux now!
how to install some windows programs I have, Like the Magic Jack phone thing.Well needless to say, he bailed on me and I havent heard from him in several days and I have been sitting without a phone since last Friday.So basically, I want to remove this kubuntu and put windows 7 back on my system so I can get all my window programs back.
When I get to the "Allocate Drive Space" section, I have only 2 options, namely "Erase and use the entire disk", which alarms me because I want to install UNR alongside Windows XP on my ASUS Eee PC 1005HA. The other option is "Specify partitions manually (advanced)". For obvious reasons, I am reluctant to try this. I have a C Drive (Windows) and a D Drive (mainly for Backup of Windows). Each drive is about 72GB with about 60GB free on my D Drive. Obviously, this is where I would like to install UNR, but will I have to clear my D Drive completely? I still have about 27GB free on my C Drive.
I've been using Ubuntu since 2009, but recently I had to reinstall Windows (and Ubuntu.)The problem is that ever since I reinstalled Windows the Ubuntu installation doesn't recognize the Windows partition. I've got a 500GB HDD, and the installation says there's 500GB of free space.Is there any way to make Ubuntu recognize the Windows partition while installing, or is the only solution reinstalling Windows?
i just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and i was enjoying it, but when i wanted to boot into windows 7 my computer just restarts by itself. I really don't know much about Ubuntu
I want to install grub inside windows 7. I don't want to partition anything neither I want to remove Windows Boot Loader (BCD). I simply want to Use Grub from windows 7 boot menu. I want to do this so for frugal install of linux distros such as puppy, slitaz, etc. I have used WinGrub on Windows XP and it worked fine. But I don't think that will work on Windows 7.
I installed Lucid Lynx on a dual boot with a previously installed copy of Windows 7 and everything installed fine via Wubi...but now when I boot up and I get to my Boot Mgr and select Ubuntu I get the following message and can not get past a black screen stating -
Try (hd0,0) EXT2
I have tried to read what others have done to fix this but nothing has worked so far,Also I can still log into Windows 7 just fine, just no Linux...
