Hi,

I'm installing 10.04 using Wubi, Wubi finishes and asks if I want to reboot, I reboot and select Ubuntu. The installer seems to progress, however later the following pop-up appears

"The installer encountered an unrecoverable error and will now reboot"

Any suggestions?

I've had this problem too. I have tried both 64 bit and 32 bit versions with the same problem. Have had no such probs with any of the releases from 8.04 through to 9.10.

Same problem here when trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 (with wubi) from Windows 7 on my IBM T43. First phase of the installation goes fine, then after the reboot, I select Ubuntu but get the message "The installer encountered an unrecoverable error and will now reboot".

Have just managed to get to a desktop in Safe graphics mode. Downloaded FGLRX via hardware drivers app. Rebooted and got the same message again. I have an ATI 4550 graphics card and wonder if this is the problem. Managed to get wubi working on my wife's dell 1501 fine.
I did get an icon saying "install 10.04 LTS", will this protect my windows XP installation? My wife would kill me if it went wrong!

Having the same problem as stated above, can anyone quote what faisu said as being a possible solution. In the LiveCD now. Got a little bit further than last week as the system just crashed.

Can I install now? Is it safe, or may it screw my boot?

Maybe I should wait another two weeks...:(

Hi guys.
I encountered the same error. I've been using ubuntu for the past 4 years with any problems like it, but 10.04 kept causing this. The problem seemed to be errors with MD5 sum.
After burning 10 different cds without success I unplugged my router and plugged the pc directly into the modem. Downloaded ubuntu and the MD5 sum checked out. Installed without problems.
Can't explain any of this but it might help someone.

Try to burn Ubuntu ISO file with InfraRecorder and install again with Wubi.

I want to add that this worked for me too. The Wubi version of Ubuntu 10.04 is installing on my mother's IBM T42 ThinkPad as I type!

Let's just hope it works fine once installation completes....

Update: yep, no problems!

Ubuntu newb here and I was experiencing the same error. This ACPI Workarounds bypass did the trick.

I've found tons of problem messages in several languages all over the internet, having to do directly with Wubi related issues, in particular regarding the installation of 10.04 Lucid. As a result I've never used the Wubi installer, sticking to a direct installation either with a bootable ISO CD or a USB stick instead. That would be my suggestion to anyone who's encountered problems with Wubi. Download and burn the ISO file or create a bootable USB stick to install Ubuntu with. I've never encountered any problems doing it that way and the installation is really pretty simple.
