downloaded a 11.10 Ubunto ISO
and burnt it to a Live-CD. Then i
booted from Live-CD, and tried to
install Ubuntu.
Only 2 options were shown:
Wipe the entire drive and
something else.
Even though i had Windows 7
installed, there was no option
saying "install with windows 7".
When i clicked something else,
and choose a drive, then clicked
install, it showed:
No root file system defined
and that happened for all the
partitions.
So i went out and booted into
Windows again, inserted the CD
onc more and selected
"wubi.exe". I choose install inside
Windows and after completion i
was asked to reboot. So i booted
into windows and then restarted
and opened windows boot
manager by hitting the tab button.
Again, only Windows 7 was
shown in the list to choose from. I
reinstalled using "wubi" many
times but the thing happened
over and over. CAN I GET A SOLUTION PLEASE??

Hi and welcome to the forums :-)

Two things you need to check and tell us please:

1. how many partitions are there on the computer

2. are the disks labeled as Basic or Dynamic

You can check this in the Windows Disk Management utility.

Thanks.
