Stories similar to [wubi] lost disk space with wubi

I'll start from the beginning...

At first I installed ubuntu11.10 via wubi in windows and it failed. (See Here)

Then I tried installing 11.04, 10.10 and 10.04 with wubi again.

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.

Hi I do not know if I am asking the question in the right forum but I need help .I am running Ubuntu 11.10 through a Wubi install.I also have Windows 7 running on my machine and both Ubuntu and Windows are in the same disk. This is what happened a few weeks back, my windows simply refused to boot up. None of the options seem to work.

Hello Group,

I'm a long time follower of Ubuntu and FOSS :D. After trying out Ubuntu (WUBI included), I'm finally ready to dual boot (need to keep windows for work related programs).

My hard drive has 2 partitions - C: (user files) & D: with Windows installed on D: (free space about 50 GB).

Hello and thanks for reading,

I really need help now, as I have a project for work stuck on an inaccessible Wubi Ubuntu install.

I currently have (had) Wubi installed alongside Windows 7 on my laptop.

I was finished using Ubuntu so I restarted back into Windows and went to do something while it restarted.

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.

Hello

I had downloaded and installed wubi about a month ago, dual booting with windows 7 pro and everything was working fine, until about an hour ago when windows 7 started running chkdsk on boot while I had walked away. I came back to find it about 70% done just going to town with "deleting <enter file name here>".

When I first got my computer I made a disk image of the windows partition using a ubuntu disk to do a live boot without installing (and then just installed partimage with apt-get). Unfortunately, I am no longer able to boot with my CDROM drive, so I am wondering if it would be possible to install Wubi and then have it restore the windows image?

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.
