http://ubuntuforums.org – I recently got a Dell Inspiron Special Edition 7720 computer. I am trying to install Ubuntu along side Windows. When I use the WUBI installer, the installation of Ubuntu works as long as I do not boot into Windows; if I boot into Windows, when I go back into Ubuntu, I am given a variety of error messages which claim to have corrupt or missing kernel/root directory, etc. I have been working with this problem for about a week, and have reinstalled Ubuntu MANY times. So far, I have eliminated all of the following problems: Corrupt WUBI installation (Downloaded multiple times, used on (Hardware)

I am trying to use the wubi installation process to create a Ubuntu 12.04 / Windows 7 dual boot setup on my Windows 7 machine (Dell Inspiron 17R). The installation initially works fine, and I am able to load Ubuntu several times after selecting it from the boot menu.

i have tried several times to install ubuntu using wubi, i can't use a disc as i have a notebook computer and there is no optical drive.

the download and installation all seem to work well but whenever i try to boot ubuntu at the windows 7/ubuntu menu it comes up with this error screen.

I have used both the C: drive and the D: drive to install Ubuntu several times each, it's always unsuccessful.

Last week I purchased an ASUS laptop, with Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I downloaded Ubuntu via wubi (from ubuntu.org).

When I turn on the laptop, I get the dual-boot options.

Hello,

today I used the Windows-based Ubuntu Installer (Wubi) as per Ubuntu Documentation.

I get as far as Completing the Ubuntu Setup Wizard and Reboot Now. But after rebooting I don't get the Windows Boot Manager to finish the installation. I always get back to Windows XP which operates as if nothing had happened.

Hello all,

This is my first thread on the forums and it's regarding my installation of Ubuntu through WUBI.

I recently installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate PC, using the Windows installer available on the Ubuntu website.

Couple of years back I was using Ubuntu installed within Windows 7 OS. Back then Ubuntu version was 10.04.

Today, I downloaded Ubuntu 64-bit Live Disc and when I try to install I do not understand how to install within Windows 7. So, any day later if I need to uninstall Ubuntu I can do by uninstalling via wubi.

Somehow I do not find those options now.

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.

It seems that after I ran WUBI in Windows 8 that everything was correctly installed. The problem I have is when I re-boot, Windows loads some sort of boot manager that asks me what OS I want to boot from. When I select UBUNTU, I'm getting error messages. Here is what my screen says: Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software issue is the cause.
