http://askubuntu.com – 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. To fix the problem: Insert your Windows installation disk and restart Choose your language settings and then click "NEXT" Click repair your computer. File: \ubuntu\winboot\wubi1dr.mbr Status: 0xc000007b This application or operating sys (HowTos)

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.

I have followed the Ubuntu windows installer procedure, but after step 7 I get a message from the windows boot manager saying that windows has failed to start and that I should insert a (nonexistent) windows installation disk.

Further on it reports
