http://askubuntu.com – I downloaded wubi a couple of months ago and realised it made my laptop bootup significantly slower. It has also made it slower in general. Recently I have been trying to uninstall wubi from my laptop but I cant. This is because I cannot fine any of the wubi or ubuntu files. This is hard because I cant unistall it and I dont know where to search for the files. Help please!!! ROhan (HowTos)

Stories similar to Cant remove Wubi

First time poster here. I am trying to run Ubuntu on Windows 7 64-bit using Wubi. On my first couple of tries it gave me the "Extraction failed with code: 2". Then I manually downloaded the iso ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso (choosing the 64-bit version from the dropdown) to my desktop where the wubi.exe is. I'm still having the same issue.

I'm running Windows XP with all the latest patches.

I downloaded Wubi to my computer, installed it and ran wubi. Wubi downloaded the Ubuntu (I assume it was the 12.10 release) file and extracted the Ubuntu files. Next, it asked to restart the computer.

Does anyone know how to uninstall it. I havent installed yet but if i dont like it can I uninstall.

Hi, I have been very happy with wubi 10.04 running alongside Windows (on two laptops running XP and 7, respectively).

Before finally moving to wubi 12.04 I'd like to run my old 10.04 together with the new version by using triple boot (XP /wubi 10.04 / wubi 12.04) or - on the other laptop (WIn7/ wubi 10.04 / wubi 12.04).

How can I do that?

I have Windows 7 in my laptop with that I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 using WUBI with partition.

Now I want to remove Ubuntu from my laptop without affecting my Windows files and data. Is there any effective way to do this?

Hi,

I installed ubuntu 12.04 64-bit version with wubi, and when I try to compile something, it is 10 times slower than 11.10 32-bit version. If I run a simulation, I can see it lags every 0.5 seconds.

I have 64-bit cpu, and installed from a 64-bit windows7.

Is anyone experiencing the same problem? Do I need to switch back to 32-bit version with wubi?

wubi install problem 12 weeks 6 days ago

I've been trying to install Ubuntu onto my laptop. About a year ago I used wubi and installed Ubuntu and everything was working fine except occasionally Ubuntu would not boot and get stuck on some "PCI Port Error" (Something like that can't really remember now). Anyways, I got frustrated with the inconsistent start up of Ubuntu so I decided to uninstall wubi on my laptop.

Hello!

I installed Ubuntu 12.10 via wubi. Because of some problems with the wifi connection I chose to uninstall it. I started wubi again and it said that I have to uninstall ubuntu before installing it again. So I agreed to uninstall ubuntu without installing a new version.

i am unable to install through wubi here is the wubi log attached with this POST
