Can anyone help me?
I have downloaded the ubuntu-desktop-9.10 iso file and the wubi.exe file.And I have checked the md5sum.
But when i want to install wubi-ubuntu,after clicking the wubi icon I just get the error "no disk",and three bottoms showing"cancel","try again","continue".
I am using vista,and run the program as administrator.
Thanks for help.

Here is the file C:\Users\lenovo\AppData\Local\Temp\wubi-9.10ubuntu1-rev160.log

Put your disk in and see if it asks you if you want to use WUBI and say yes.
Pick a password, pick how much space allocated for ubuntu.

Will boot from Vista's grubdos4. Have first option of Windows second option ubuntu.

highlight ubuntu. enter at login screen then password. Off you go.

Ubuntu will be in C: drive next to Users in Windows. Let me know if you find a problem.

I have done it quite a bit never had a problem.

It is like an Application in Windows. Can uninstall if you make a mess of it. Will not effect your machine. Always make sure you pick WUBI. If not it will go into asking you how you
want your partitions.

Do you have a card-reader? In that case click the symbol in systray and "safely remove hardware".
