  • Can you access all data on the comp with both OSs?

  • @slaney141 on Windows yes :) not on ubuntu no, because I have ubuntu installed inside of windows and it can't reach out of it's box. So it can only read where it's installed and the windows install is basically out of it's reach :)

  • so pretty much Wubi is like a software that makes a partition on your hard drive withouth formating it and making u lose anything?

  • @haroldcore13 it doesn't partition your hard drive, that's one of the best features :D

  • @TheHacker0007 really? then how come u get sort of a multiboot screen at the BIOS. How do they do this!? MAgic!? D:

  • @haroldcore13 this program creates a folder in your windows drive called " ubuntu " and inside their is all of Ubuntu's files and everything it needs. Yes, when the computer is turned on the "windows boot manager" asks which one to start. But if you select Ubuntu it's really using the same drive as your Windows drive. Just 1 folder on that drive :)
