the whole reason I used wubi in the first place is because I am installing on a netbook with no CD/DVD drive and no ability to boot from usb On 13 September 2010 20:09, Daniel Case wrote: > Jacob, > > Just install Ubuntu to a separate partition and it will wipe out the > Windows bootloader and r

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Using Wubi on a dual partition machine

Jacob, Just install Ubuntu to a separate partition and it will wipe out the Windows bootloader and replace it with GRUB. You can then boot both Windows and Linux from there :) Daniel On 13 September 2010 10:01, Jacob Mansfield wrote: > how do you get rid of the windows bootloader, I used wibi

Thanks for the information. To explain a little more thoroughly. The Windows7 installation is an OEM version and the main/rescue partitions are as installed by the manufacturer, HP. But the use of Wubi is looking promising, so far!! Cheers. Keith -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists

I would like to install Ubuntu 10.4, using Wubi, on a machine which has Windows7 installed. The Windows7 installation uses two partitions - the main one and a rescue partition. No CDs supplied! If I understand things correctly from what I have found on the forum, trying to install Wubi on such
