[ubuntu] Recovery of partition 43 weeks 14 hours ago

I scanned the Forum but I did not see anything that talks to the issue of reinstalling a Ubuntu partition using Wubi.

I used Wubi to install a partition on a Windows 7 system under. It worked great until my disk crashed. I had ROS installed on the partition and some other code. The data was recovered into an ubuntu directory in a temporary directory.

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?

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.

I am in a very strange situation and need some help: I installed Ubuntu 11.10 through Wubi a while back so that I can use it alongside Windows 7. I was running out of space on my disk when trying to install applications.

After using virtual machines and wubi for the last few years I finally took the time to install ubuntu (12.04, LTS f*ck yeah) in a dual boot.

I read some tutorials, but they seemed all different and they all recommended to use the "something else" option in the installation process.

I just bought a new laptop that comes with Windows 7 preinstalled and I want to install Ubuntu alongside with it.

The system came with 5 partitions:

System partition Unknown partition NTFS partition (the one with windows) NTFS partition (to be used for data) A recovery partition

I had removed the NTFS data partition and shrinked the windows partition to make room for Ubuntu as it will be my m

Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop already running windows, but I just realized that a hard drive can only have 4 primary partitions (noob errors). I have a 500gb hard drive. The four partitions are the following: 1 Windows partition (450gb) with 300gb unused, a System partition from windows thats about 200mb, a 13gb partition labeled RECOVERY, and a 100mb partition labeled HP_TOOLS.

Hi,

I would like to install Ubuntu 12.04 on my computer from Windows using Wubi, but I have a problem with it. Firstly I mount a CD image in a virtual drive via Daemon tool. Next I start Wubi, fill all installation fields, and then I click next. Then Wubi starts to extract files, etc.
