[ubuntu] Dual booting after wubi-move

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello, I am using Wubi to install Ubuntu 12.04 on my windows partition, then I decided to migrate the Wubi install to a partition. I followed the steps on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi, it was done correctly and I'm happy of the result. The problem now is, my windows doesn't show up in boot loader - which means, I can't boot into windows. How do I resolve this? I am using Windows 7 x64 + Ubuntu 12.04. (Hardware)

Need help migrating from Wubi 35 weeks 6 days ago

I know this question has been asked, but I am looking for specific help with my partition selection.

I want to migrate my install from wubi to be a dual boot. When I installed it I choose a small, partition, around 30GB. I am following these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi I see sda4 matches that size, but has mount point as '/host', am I okay to use this one?

I run this script https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi

and reveiced a message : migration completed successfully.

Then i restarted computer and choose ubuntu from 2 lines

Windows Ubuntu

.

Here's the guide which I wish to follow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi

I cant afford to loose all programs I have installed so far, so I've decided to not to upgrade right now.

show me how to prepare the file system.

An year and a half ago, I installed Ubuntu on my computer using Wubi. After a while I decided to install Ubuntu on a separate partition. So I uninstalled the Ubuntu using Wubi, and installed Ubuntu on a separate partition by booting from the Ubuntu ISO.

Though Wubi uninstalled Ubuntu from my Windows partition it did not remove the option in the boot menu.

The move from Win7 to Ubuntu 12.04 has been honestly awesome. But I've come into a snag because my Win7 inevitably broke.

I can still boot into Ubuntu even though Win7 is broken (won't boot, can't repair).

Hi. I'm using a self-built computer running Windows 7 on a 128GB SSD, and I also have a 1TB HDD for storage. Recently, I installed Ubuntu on a 24 GB partition on the storage drive using Wubi. I then made the mistake of deleting the Ubuntu and Wubi folders off of the Windows partition.

Hello everyone. New to the forum but not to Ubuntu (though still not an expert of course). I was having a little problem so I thought I'd ask for some help here.

I currently have Ubuntu 12.10 installed through Wubi, and I had just recently upgraded my Windows 7 installation to Windows 8.

Hey guys. I have Windows 8 currently running on my HpG62 Notebook. I had ubuntu 11.10 running via wubi install. I uninstalled that and i want to do a full install. I have a 500GB internal hardrive. I want windows to take up 200GB and Ubuntu 100GB and i want to have a 200GB storage partition. I know how to do all of this. But what confuses me is this: Do i need a swap partition.

Ubuntu Community,
