Did you ever wish to run Ubuntu Linux like an app without a CD in Windows. Well Wubi can help you. Wubi is an officially supported Ubuntu installer for Windows users that can bring you to the Linux world with a single click. Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other Windows application, in a simple and safe way. It is safe, simple and free. So why not give it a try?
It is best to use real partitions in the long run. If Ubuntu doesn't boot, it is probably because Windows has not been shut down cleanly. If Wubi fails to start, boot into windows and run chkdsk /r from windows on the same drive where you have installed Ubuntu. Make sure you shutdown cleanly and then try to boot into Ubuntu again .
Windows 7, Vista, XP are known to work fine in wubi. But Windows 98 might work but may give errors. Windows ME is not supported.
If you have a Ubuntu Live Disk with you, you can make use of that instead of waiting for Wubi to download the whole thing again. Wubi.exe is available on the CD itself.

Download the wubi installer from their website . You'll be installing wubi for Ubuntu 9.10 (Codenamed Karmic Koala).
Run the installer . Run wubi and configure your Ubuntu Installation .ie you can specify the location where you want to install Ubuntu, allocate space for Ubuntu and also choose a Ubuntu flavour ( such as Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu Netbook Remix, Kubuntu Remix, Xubuntu etc). Also provide the language you want to use on your Ubuntu desktop, and a username and password for the Ubuntu system . After doing so click install .
Wait till it downloads the Ubuntu desktop. These installation are usually around 700 MB and they will be automatically downloaded and verified. It might take longer, if your bandwidth is low.
Reboot . When the download is finished Wubi will ask you to reboot. You could also manually reboot later if you were in the middle of something .
Choose Ubuntu from the boot screen . Ubuntu will install everything according to the settings you made earlier and the installation may last for about 10-15 minutes. You don't have to do anything here but just wait. When everything is done, it will reboot again.
Just log in and enjoy.
