  • so when you install via windows.....and boot into ubuntu....windows OS isnt actually running? im just trying to wrap my head around this.... I understand that t5he HDD isnt messed with but how can an OS be installed ontop of an OS without needing both of them running at the sme time?

  • 1:44

    Insult to all windows in a middle of a download.

  • I find this funny when I've had only Three BSO'ds in my life.

    One in windows ME when Avira mistook the win folder as a virus.

    Another two when XP and Vista got viruses because I was a fucktard and forgot to install my shit. (ClamWin and MSE)

  • bgates=Bill Gates! LOL!

  • Why do people post on here like the guy doing the demo is offering support of any level?

  • does wubi works for win7 too ?

    cuz i cant start ubuntu from the boot menue.. if i klick on ubuntu i just get a black screen

  • @CarbonBeast It works on my Win7. Just uninstall it and start all over.

  • Good idea to backup my data before I do this?

  • I tried this and it did not want to dual boot, it went directly to windows, I did that exact same thing he did

  • I have that mug :)

  • at 0.06, freeze the video!! whahahaahahah

  • acces denied error?

  • BSOD is screensaver

  • WIFI works the best with Windows 7 even better than MAC.

    I wonder if the WIFI on Ubuntu 11.04 is just as good!

    I do like the way Ubuntu 11.04 looks though,i might try it sometime when the WIFI is perfect.

  • on the C Drive are you sure what will happen to the C drive After The Installation because i dont have a D Drive

  • lol ill never be blue again! *THUMBS UP* *AWKWARD SMILING FACE*

  • My neihbor tried Linux and his entire hard drive got formatted and Windows was goooooone!!

  • lol just kidding bluescreen :D

  • Cool, Thanks. Love the advert

  • Cool, Thanks

  • Purple screens of joy!

  • WILL THIS BE SLOW?

  • how can i install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS side by side with windows, cause Wubi only lets you have the latest version(11.04)

  • @ 2:04 mine says no root fily system bla bla bla..

    this is version 11.04 but what is wrong????

  • @j0sukHD its not 11.04 its 9.04

  • ah the days of 8.04, back when none out of none of the linux distros I tried worked with my wireless lan card...

    thankfully 10.10 changed that

  • Neato, thanks for the post.

  • THE BSOD SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME LOL I WAS INSTALLING IT FORM WUBI AND JESUS CHRIST MAN I WAS LIKE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

  • Thanks. I'd love to do a full install on that awesome OS, but sadly I don't own this computer, so I need to do this.

  • Can you repartition to delete Windows from linux if you install linux using Wubi?

  • He Scared Me At 1:41

  • pause it a 0:08

  • This guy is a fag

  • pause at 0:04

  • i did this, but im not able to connect to wifi, no internet connections show up,and it says no autorun program, when i try to install something

  • @CurtJames93 lmao

  • @CurtJames93 Yeah, Linux has some problems with WIFI for some reason. I just use an ethernet cable, it's a desktop, anyway, so I'm not going to travel with it anywhere. The WIFI on my Xubuntu machine works, but seems to dislike WPA or any kind of secured network. Go figure :) Enjoy your Linux machine.

  • is the a gnome version?

  • ohh my gad i got a BSOD wtf!! ohh just kidding!! XD ha ha

  • Thanks! Gonna try it out.

  • kurwa jak ja nie trawie takich filmików gdzie gość pierdoli przez 3/4 filmu o czymś co już wiemy. Niech ktoś powie tym dziadom żeby byli treściwi bo nikt nie słucha tego gówna.

  • Nice curtains!

  • HELP ME YOU ARE MY ONLY HOPE I DID THIS AND WHEN IT SAYS "INSTALLING SYSTEM" I GET A MESSAGE THAT SAYS "NO ROOT FILE IS DEFINED" AND I LOOKED IT UP BUT I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT THE TUTORIALS ARE SAYING PLEASE HELP AND TELL ME HOW TO DO IT!!!

  • If you end up liking ubuntu can you somehow convert the drive's file system and partition tables to make this permanent?

  • @exo232 If it's wubi, then no D: only way to have two OS to one is having Ubuntu on a seperate partition and then using partition tools to expand it. The problem is that wubi is installed as a Windows program. And like any program that requires an OS, if you erase the OS, then you erase the program as well. If you want to try it without all the fuss, just use the live CD

  • LOL Fake BSOD

  • Sweet. Gonna try it out right now!

  • Loled @ BSOD :P

  • When i select ubuntu after it just brings me to like windows recovery or something?!? i dont understand it doesent work D:

  • does installing from the wubi.exe cause the ubuntu to run slower on your computer because it is not running of your hard drive but a virtual space? Or does it run as if it was partitioned on the hard drive? So basically does it make a difference running it from wubi rather than doing it from the live disk/ creating a partition for it?thanks reply asap=D

  • @35ur The only real difference between wubi and an actual install on the hard-drive is that wubi is a 'program' inside Windows, that can be installed and removed like any other program. Wubi is best recommended for new users (or those that want to have a crack, without having the disadvantages of a live CD). Personally wubi vs. partition, I feel the only difference is that wubi is easier to install and a full partition is obviously the best option if Ubuntu will be your only/main OS.

  • if it starts to redownload follow this

    youtube.com/watch?v=CrnhymdXJ1­g

  • Hooray for penetration of windows!...

    Anyway, when I launch wubi in xp sp3 (64bit) it just says try without installing and boot with disk in tray. However, I have mint4win (the mint variant of wubi) and that does have the option to install in windows yet it finishes rather abruptly and then there is no option to load it in the boot menu. Help :'(

  • lol @ the bsod.

  • man my neighbours are shit..they never have told me that

  • and windows was GONNE!

  • @monsuiermonocle i does a dual boot noobe

  • @saltman90 I does a proper grammar and spelling noobe

  • nice, i'm installing it :P

  • help! i did exactly what it did in the video and when i booted up and chose ubuntu and it came up with not suported on my moniter. i installed on a partion that is 18.5gb. help asap

  • do you need a CD/DVD to install it?

  • @jesse8258

    Yeah. Just shove in a CD. &It should work =D

  • @jesse8258 No you can download it or make a disc of it.

  • what is hibernate to disk?

  • I just used Windows Virtual PC on windows 7..it's easy

  • ha ha ha...luv your sense of humour :) not many with that these days :)

  • psycho face D:

  • wubi looks like a good way to test a distro more indepth, but I don't mean like testing beta releases but to 'play' around on. I used Linux on a virtual machine since I'm on a loaned pc so I can't actually dual boot (windows for gaming linux for everytrhing else) but wubi looks like a good way to get that dual boot feeling without changing the HDD so that at the end of the day if they want their computer back, they can't get angry about the windows being gone. (subscribed to your channel)

  • i'm installig it right now ;-) thanx

  • You have to be an idiot to format your hardrive while installing Ubuntu. The is a place were you can format it when selecting disk sizes. And there is another where you can partition by using a slider. couldn't be more simple. Nice I want some rose coloured glasses. Anyways Wubi is amazing. But I completely switched to Ubuntu

  • Yh u tell em!!! linux is one of the most used operating systems in the world(with android and meego + all the computer OS like ubuntu).

  • So I can install it on the exact same partition as Windows without it formatting or editing the installation? It won't delete anything?

  • I have an acer aspire 5532 laptop. When I open Wubi, it does not give me the option to install Ubuntu inside windows like the way you did it in the video. Instead the window where you set up the install comes up. I tried it, but when I restarted my computer, it went right to my windows system. Is it my computer model that is giving me trouble?

  • i have a ubuntu 10.04 disc and ive been wanting to try ubuntu for a long time should i? will it slow down my pc alot

  • windows gone? Sounds like a selling point

  • so is there any advantages to this over dual boot other than the partition?

    linux is up by three on the crash count vs 7 on my system

  • OMG, YOU ARE FREAKIN UGLY!!

  • so i have a question. not a complete technical guru and i am currently running windows xp on my computer. it makes my computer run terribly slow. if i install ubuntu through windows creating the image like you say, should it in theory possibly speed up my computer running linux through windows. or will i still have the speed porblems because it is running through windows, as in i should reformat the hard drive with just ubuntu and not ubuntu through windows. hope that makes sense. PLEASE HELP!

  • @jkuebler89 sorry correction. i am running windows vista. my computer ran perfect on xp(the computer is a little old). But after reformating my hard drive found that i had misplaced my xp disc :( My only option was a copy of vista from a friend. Now my computer is running slower than before. VISTA is terrible.

  • purple screens of joy!

  • Too bad I already have Ubuntu installed

  • Well, everythings fine 4 me :) But do u know can expand disc space for UBUNTU ? i gaved half of possible disk space... And I liked everything so far... And I want to give UBUNTU OS as much space as possible :) can u help me with that question? thx

  • Hi I was wondering if you can do this with windows 7?

  • @MrBostonBeatdown Yes you can :) I use WUBI on Windows 7

  • installing ubuntu...well 30 minutes later, still waiting...graphics in ubuntu looks a little boring...

  • You are SOO ugly!!!

  • @compugeekmsn Piss off, anus-mustache.He tries to teach people something while you go throwin' shit around you.

  • Did you install Window$ XP in a Virtualized Machine

  • I bet this guy made Wubi look at his top Linux he works for Linux or his a keen fan either way Wubi is very useful and easy to use. Saved me having to get a disk out. :-)

  • Lol.. love when you randomly show th partition error screen .

    "Huh? Uhoh. no jk. " LOL

  • hahaha

  • HAHAHAHA!!! The Hard drive thing happened to me when I first tried Ubuntu :D

  • hey man can i ask you something?

    if i choose the install size to 3 gb not 10 or 17 gb without affecting the ubuntu os?

  • XD Purple screen of joy..

  • You can download wubi instaler if you don´t want to download tne linux image.

  • Purple screen of death. Lol

  • LOL

  • why that screen where i can chose windows or ubuntu doesn't apear?I install wubi just like you....

  • I´m convinced. I´ll give it a try. I´ve been wanting to change to Linux for a while, now´s the time.

  • by comparing two method installing ubuntu in a dual boot either install in a new partition or using wubi , which one is better ?

  • Ubuntu is a great OS. Forget installing WIndows first.

  • lol at the blue screen.that was hilarious.I still need windows for alot of things like scripting.

  • does wubi work on linux mint?

  • Hi,

    I tried to install ubuntu with wubi, but I always get a bug preventing installing the ubuntu. there is a pop up " pyrun.exe no disk, please insert a disck " ,

    I wonder if you know how to get rid of this.

    thanks

  • @aga920 redownload the iso and reburn it.that usually solves everything

  • @313c7r0idPu153 instaling ubuntu via wubi, should not need a CD, installing stops when that pop up appears !

  • @aga920 just be patient try to give it some time to install.afterall its an os it is built with tons and tons and tons of files

  • I like this guy.

  • can u install this on your d drive?

  • @NintendoJunky i want to install this also in d drive...i downloaded the iso file from the ubuntu and then extract on my desktop and click the wubi.exe..it will download the OS again..man i have a slow intenet it will tak hours again

  • @feli515 positive it wont but if u want to make sure install it threw another hard drive

  • Cheers dude, i've just been struggling with unmovable files on my C: drive for an hour or so...

    You've saved me a night of worrying whether my PC would restart! :|

  • @feli515 yes it creates a folder in the place u install (e.g, the C:\ drive) called ubuntu,a and it creates a file that it installs to, if youve used virtual machines b4 u'll know what im talkin about! i use it myself, wubi is a fantastic tool!

  • the duel system selection bar didn't show up

  • do u need a user and password in the installation?

  • I've installed the Wubi installer, but every time I run the application I get an error where it states that there is no disk and prompts me to insert a disc. Anyone know what's going on?

  • funny

  • LINUX parrot i recomend teethbrush

  • Hey, Does anyone know if Wubi Ubuntu will work on a Dell Insprion 531s with Windows 7 because I've heard Ubuntu doesn't work on Dell computers and Wubi doesn't work on Windows 7.

  • @Reelthanstreet44 i have a dell it works fine when it asks to install select driver install then it asks for driver cd just press enter then it says insert original cd just press enter again then when it goes to the desktop restart ur pc then select original install it works i got ubuntu 7.04 up right now on a dell optiplex gx280

  • @MultiYippee Only problem is when I use the live CD my whole screen is at the top left of my monitor and only see a portion of the Ubuntu login.

  • @Reelthanstreet44 increase the screen resolution go to:

    system ----> Preferences ----> Screen Resolution and select your screen resolution. if that doesnt work ull have to use a command-line to install ur graphics card

  • isnt it trippy how there is no serial for an os?

  • kinda surprised at blue screen of death. lol good one!

  • I'm loving Ubuntu. I'm using it through Wubi right now and as a long time Windows User, I can't say I'm not impressed with how much faster and smoother it runs!

  • You SexC Beast, i have seen all your vids and i can tell you moisturise by your beauitiful fair skin

  • did it mess up your computer later because i had a friend who got xp then got vista then later it crash

  • Greetings!!! I love your videos, because you looks sexy!!!

  • looks like you have just washed your hair.

  • Mint is better.

  • do those glasses come in green???

  • Thanks!

  • i used to use xandros and ubuntu linux,but i got windows 7 when it came out and now i use that but i wanted to dual boot ubuntu and 7 together and this video really helped! thanx!!!!

  • thank you, u helped me understand exactly what wubi is and how it works! :)

  • please reply im using wubi and i have 43 minutes left befor it reboot and i wanted to know is it safe to install

  • HELP!!!! Ubuntu doesnt recognise my hardware what should i do.. i already tried the hardware drivers search but it didnt find anything....

  • i thought he said purple screams of joy.

  • im trying to put unbuntu in with wubi, but after the in stall on my desktop and my netbook, and i get a promt after the installation that kinda like a dos screen. tab shows me commands and i can even reboot. i really ready to leave windows for unbuntu, anybody got a solution?

  • Uh...isn't that what Wubi does is give you the "DOS" screen of choosing which OS to boot?

  • how do i remove the dualboot thingy if i got windows xp, i need todo this without a windows disk

  • easy, go to control panel, then to system, then to the "advanced options" tab, or something like that, since my computer is in spanish, i'm translating, so look for synonims of the words i'm writing. inside advanced options, it should say start and recovery, or something, and a button which says configurate. click on it.inside that, look for a butto which says edit, and erase the text line of Ubuntu. good luck.

  • So i wanted to delete it by using wubi. but It's still there. what do i do to uninstall it??

    thanks :P

  • hey i got a problem. I installed ubuntu before using wubi and it worked fine. but I have a different computer now and also a different harddrive (the other one doesn't work anymore) so I wanted to install it again but then the folowong happened: the installation went normal and when i rebooted i chose ubuntu. when it installed it reboted again. then i selected ubuntu again but i got some sort of thing where you have to type all the stuff. I typed help but couldn't find any help. neither did tab.

  • does it work on windows7?

  • i think that #crunchbang is better than ubuntu

    i know that it's based on ubuntu but i tried it and i was more stable

  • The New Linux crashes grub if you use your Linux update Manager, here is the fix

    If you use Wubi on the first update only you will need to do this

    Quote:

    1) use the system update app to apply the latest kernel updates but DO NOT REBOOT as suggested by the system

    Go to the Terminal (Applications/Accessories/Term­inal)

    2) sudo update-grub2

    3) sudo apt-get install grub2

    4) now reboot into the new default kernel (2.6.31-16)

    This will keep it from crashing...

  • LOL the start and end of this video is so funny

    I posted a video response that is a up dated tut on wubi, hope its approved

  • "My HDD was formatted cause of trying to install Linux" is just a stupid excuse nowadays. Of course, if someone does not trust Wubi or similar software, there's also coLinux or virtualization technologies No new partitions. Just a disk image and voilá!

  • Comment removed

  • the bsod scared me haha

  • this guy is cool :P

  • i used this becasue when i got the blue screen of death this saved me since i could backup everything using linux since i could acess windows hardrive. now i got the blue screen on my new computer and luckily it let me go to windows for about 2 min before blue screen popped up so this time after backing up everything with that I decided to install linux in case next time im not so lucky.

  • This is very helpfull

  • heheheh... the blue screen thing was actually a little funny...

  • great! I love your glasses :)

  • i installed wubi, but I don't go into the boot thing

  • 1:42 lol

  • i dowloaded ubuntu used a burning app to place the iso on a disk i did it twice an when i put it in it says something about not fiinding disks so i downladed wubi and tried that installed ok and then rebooted it just started in windows
