I know that this is an Ubuntu help forum, but it is pretty related to Wubi. I want to install Windows 7 on my other computer which got a virus on XP (Ubuntu dual-booted), but I don't have a flash drive or any writable CDs that have 2.4GB memory (I have a flash drive that's 2GB.. not enough :()

So I remembered that I installed Ubuntu with Wubi into Windows by adding Ubuntu to the boot list. Is there any known way to install Windows 7 onto Windows like Wubi? I know how to add the entry to boot.ini.

Thanks! I know this isn't completely related, but Ubuntu users are usually the most technically knowledgeable, and I know I can get a fast reply here.

Not that I know of. You could use something like VirtualBox.

Hmmmmaybe. I think my dad has some high memory flash drives.

If not, I'll install it on VirtualBox (already have it installed anyways :P)

Thanks
