install using wubi

[donhinrichs]

I have downloaded the wubi.exe when I want to run the program it get an error message saying that there is not disk in the drive.
I have done this on other computers and never had a problem

Why are you choosing wubi, a dual boot will be easier to maintain and fix if you have any problems.

because it has worked very well on 3 other computers. It ends up with a dual boot system

You should download the standard ISO so you have a cd in case needed that will install.

Actually wubi isn't a dual boot technically it is a Ubuntu file in a ntfs partition. I let you know this in case you get into trouble just make sure you mention the wubi install.;)

I know it seems that installing without a cd seems to be the way to go but a Linux cd will allow you to access almost any OS and recover needed files lost if the OS breaks. The smartest thing a user can do is have the install cd/dvd / and a HD external HD with everything backed up to it.
