Hi there, I noticed that in the past, someone mentioned that I could install Ubuntu inside of Windows 7, so if I wanted to get rid of Ubuntu, all I would have to do is go to the Windows control panel and uninstall it. How do you do this?

**Your font is way to big and bold. Users do not like this I do believe, offensive looking. Edit and make your font smaller and not bold.
#You want a WUBI install which is a folder inside of C; drive in Windows:
Download a .iso file of Ubuntu and BURN a disk. Put disk in tray while in Windows and choose
WUBI and install. Here are some links below to get .iso file and post installation. If you want to uninstall use Ubuntu folder in C: drive or Add and Remove programs in Windows.
Download Ubuntu | Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download)

By the way "along side of" is a partition install in normal Ubuntu install.

O.K. thank for making font smaller and being a good sport about it, let me know
how you do with your WUBI install.
If you have new questions and want to start another thread put WUBI in it and the
WUBI users will notice it and help you out. Enjoy your Ubuntu Linux.

Ubuntu's Ubiquity installer will detect the existence of another operating system and allow you to dual boot with it and you can choose either one at startup.

A Wubi Ubuntu install can be removed just like any other Windows application. Just click uninstall to remove it from Windows.
