Howto: Install Ubuntu Using Wubi (HD)

Hey guys, sorry I haven't made a video in a really long time. I've been pretty busy experimenting with operating systems on my main machine. This doesn't allow me to have the correct drivers installed in order for me to make the videos I want.

Anyway, in this video I show you how to install the latest Ubuntu version using an installer called Wubi. Wubi installs the operating system just as if it was an application. You don't need a disk or an Iso image in order to do so if you are using this application. Happy July 4th (or belated) and I hope you enjoy my video.

Hypothetical: If you install ubuntu or dual boot on a new PC will it ruin the warranty?

[sephuroth1]

@JohnathenDavis Sorry for the late response, I'm pretty sure that is dependent on who you buy the laptop from.

Can you switch between windows 7 and ubuntu any time?

Is there a way to add more space, I already installed it using Wubi and I put it on 20gb, can I add more space to it? I don't want to reinstall it again.

@SuperBlaze999

I think you'd have to uninstall it and then reinstall at 10gb.

Hello i installed it using wubi but i left the size as 30gb how do i resize that to 10gb only thanks

@JohnathenDavis no, it wont in any way just delete unbutu if u think your pc is fucked or will be fucked not to mention its just another os :/ i doubt the company will care

@TechnologyProfessor if you have a wifi key to turn wifi on or off on your keyboard, try pressing it twice, then waiting for ubuntu to detect the wifi. i had the same problem, but that fixed it :)

[ipwnrubberduckiesftw]

@harwoodhomies it is suggested that you do. just in case. ive installed this on 4 pcs in total, and nothing was lost :)

[harwoodhomies]
