Ubuntu netbook inside win7
G'day Folks.
Why won't "Ubuntu 10.10 netbook" install inside win7 on a netbook? I can only make it run from a 'usb flash stick'. Running from the usb. At boot it always boots as a trial version. Any ideas please? |

do a search on the usb for the wubi.exe file. If it is there, just click on it.

No it doesn't.
From inside win7 I found the wubu.exe in the usb-stick. I double-clicked and the only options it gave me were to reboot and 'run as a trial' or 'instal alongside'. Do you have any other ideas? |

I just worked it out.
Thinking about it, I remembered that Windows 7 boots different to winXP. So Ubuntu might not have written into the win7 bot configuration. So I tried this:- 1] Boot win7 2] Open Ubuntu folder and select 'exe' file. 3] Right click and choose properties. 4] In the Compatibility Tab, I selected the Operating System as Windows Vista, and Run as administrator. 5] Run Ubuntu.exe and select 'Install Inside Windows 7. It worked fine for me. So I hope it helps some-one else. |
