I have pretty much tried everything I can find, but I haven't manged to get it to work. I have somehow managed to have GRUB2 available with WUBI , and have tried that way to start a live USB. Unfortunately, I have no idea how I've managed to get GRUB installed (I've tried for that long and I've forgotten to document things). In other words, how do I boot from a USB on a Lenovo Yoga tablet 2 1051L/F overview ? I do have a USB to micro USB and a USB hub with four ports, a keyboard, and a USB pen drive with LXLE on it, so I do have the hardware. Any help would be much appreciated.

I had Windows with two drives C: and D:. In the drive C:, I have my Windows. In the drive D:, I had my all other files and data. I installed Ubuntu in the drive D:, without deleting any data from it. So when I boot my laptop, in boot menu I see both "Windows 7" and "Ubuntu". When I boot up with Ubuntu, it works well, but I don't have access my data in drive D: (where I installed Ubuntu) anymore, but when I boot up with Windows, I have access to it. How can I have access my data in drive D: from Ubuntu?

I am using Linux on VM but now I want to have full fledged experience. But I don't want to partition my PC. Will Wubi work since Ubuntu is ok for me. Specifically I want to ask whether installation through Wubi will install full fledged Ubuntu with no capability compromised edition like Live CD?

I have a netbook and I want to install OpenSuse on my Windows 7 just like installing Ubuntu in Windows 7 using wubi. Is there a software like wubi for OpenSuse to install it without losing Windows 7 ?

I'm a Windows user who is dipping their toes into the Linux pool. I heard Ubuntu is a good distro for newbies, and I was interested in Wubi.exe because I could try Ubuntu without committing. However, the most recent version of Wubi is 12.10, and (at the time of this question) Ubuntu is now on 15.04. Is Wubi still even supported? Should I just get another hard drive and do a full install?

I'm trying to install Linux Mint 13 with Cinnamon via the 64 bit DVD image from within Windows. I've tried both installing it to C: which is my Windows system disk, but also to D: which is another physical disk entirely. The same thing happens on both disks. The Windows part of the installation completes and it tells me to reboot. When I reboot, it tries rebooting into Linux Mint to start the installation, but I only get a prompt saying grub >. If I try the boot command, it says no kernel is loaded. I've tried looking at the boot record in EasyBCD, and it looks like this: Entry #1 Name: Windows 7 BCD ID: {current} Drive: C:\ Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe Entry #2 Name: Linux Mint BCD ID: {62256248-e57d-11e1-9eca-d50aae34d088} Drive: C:\ Bootloader Path: \linuxmint\winboot\wubildr.mbr Booting Windows 7 works fine obviously, but I'm not sure why Linux Mint fails. The Bootloader Path for the Linux Mint installation checks out. Any ideas why this is happening, and/or what I can do to troubleshoot it? I really want to install this via Wubi, and not have to mess around with partitions.

I can't install Ubuntu because during the "copying files" my PC powers off. I've downloaded Ubuntu 14.04 with WUBI on my Windows 8.1 32-bit PC. I made a new partition with 15.9GB, (I don't know if I need more memory on my partition) Then WUBI, correctly, reboots. But then when it gets to "copying files", the computer powers off. Before it shuts down, it looks like this.

Some time ago I installed 12.04 from windows xp on a separate "linux" partition via wubi. this partition was allocated 50 GB. my problem now is that obviously the root directory does not have access to the entire volume but only to about 10 gigs which is now not very far from being exhausted. when I call partition monitor I get this: the hard drive is divided into 3 partitions altogether: the windows volume (sda1) with 146 gigs, a "save" volume (sda6) for backups and stuff with some 103 gigs and the linux volume (sda5) with about 50 gigs of space however being host of this strange subdivision "loop0" where the root directory seems to be placed (so this 10 gigs of the loop0 division seem to belong to the sda5 partition, at least thats what I get) my question is: how can I make the ubuntu root directory to have access to the full 50 gigs of the partition instead of being restricted to the loop0 subdivision to give you some more info heres what the df and mount comments tell me:

I installed ubuntu/wubi nearly a year ago on my windows 8 pc. It has been sitting on a separate partition untouched since then. I am trying to access it again as I'd like to use Ubuntu now. I cannot figure out how to boot to Ubuntu. When I go to "msconfig" -> "boot". I only see an option for Windows. The Ubuntu file hierarchy looks like this: D:\ -> ubuntu -> disks, install, winboot The disk file root.disk is about 18gb. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had some trouble installing Ultimate Edition 2.9 on my friend's computer using Wubi. Wubi just doesn't accept installation and gives only 2 options - 'Demo & Install' and 'Learn more'. Tried searching the internet for a solution but couldn't find anything. Is it Wubi's fault or is it not designed to give support for UE? If latter, what is the alternative to it (without actually giving UE a seperate partition).

I have Ubuntu installed on a (originally just Windows) machine using wubi. What are the chances of going something horribly wrong if I were to: 1. create a new partition 2. Install Ubuntu 11.10 on it using a CD 3. format the partitions with Windows and wubi on them. Will this successfully make Ubuntu 11.10 as my main OS? In case anyone is wondering why I want to do so: simply because I never use windows and it's just sitting there idle, taking up space.

I mean installing with something like wubi? Can Fedora do this?

Ubuntu has the ability to install within Windows via [Wubi](http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer) . Is the same thing possible with Fedora?

I'm new to Linux. I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 from Windows 7. It's not in Virtual PC, it is independent. It uses a virtual drive in c:, I have chosen it to be 10 Gb. Now I want to increase the size of this drive. How to do this? I've configured the system for PHP MySQL and installed a lot of software and fixed wireless connection problems a lot of things i don't want to loose these things and start troubling again. I heard of backups, but I think it will take too long. Is there any other simple and fast way?

Do you have experience using Wubi and if so, what are the major pros and cons ? I am of course particularly interested in potential problems.
