Multiple Problems Installing 12.04, now can't use Windows

http://askubuntu.com – First I tried using the 32-bit wubi.exe installer from the main Ubuntu website. It worked fine, dual booted with Windows 7 and all. I tried installing several applications and got errors. After searching for a little while for a fix, I found that someone else had solved the problem by uninstalling the 32-bit version and installing 64-bit Ubuntu. Apparently there is no wubi.exe installer for the 64-bit version, so I used LinuxLive to put the iso file onto a USB drive. I changed my the boot order in BIOS to check the USB first. It did, and I got into the Ubuntu installer just fine. Everyt (HowTos)

I'm using Windows 8 (32bit) customer preview and installing WUBI Ubuntu 12,04.1. I down loaded 32 bit installer from ubuntu dot com, The wubi installer says AMD 64 xt. I had a previous 12,04 install and in the terminal typed in uname -a, it say's 64 bit. I also opened detail from the system and it read 64 bit system.

Hi,

I'm trying to dual boot ubuntu 12.10 alongside windows 8. I tried to use wubi windows installer to install ubuntu. Now when I restart my laptop it reports some problem with "File: \ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr". However i'm still able to login to windows 8 but not ubuntu.

I installed an older version of Ubuntu before with the Wubi installer. I then did an upgrade of the Ubuntu to the latest 11.10 version but this did not work well. Icons were missing in Ubuntu and it was pretty messed up (with no option to shut down Ubuntu etc.). I therefore completely uninstalled ubuntu from within Windows 7 64 bit and downloaded the new Ubuntu 11.10 Wubi.exe.

I'm trying to install ubuntu with an usb stick, I used the Universal USB Installer/Pen Drive Linux's USB Installer to pack up the iso to the drive and everything went fine. But now when I boot into the ubuntu installer I come to the "Try Ubuntu" or "Install Ubuntu" I click Install Ubuntu and I come to the next screen, so far everything fine. I check the install updates and third party software, be

So, I have seen so many of these threads after searching, but none are understandable for me or are a tad different.

So I was using Windows Vista (Which is on the C:/ drive) until I found out about Ubuntu. Now I still need some programs desperately which only run on Windows, and I want to be able to boot both, since I do not fully understand wine yet.

Hi there,

I'm having some problems installing Ubuntu Desktop 11.10 onto my PC. I would like to do a dual boot with my existing Windows 7 installation, but it appears to be having problems seeing the partitions.

My first attempt at installing Ubuntu, I used the Wubi installer as it looked a lot simpler than any other installation I've ever done before and did exactly what I wanted...
