I Downloaded Wubi.exe & Ubuntu 12.04 LTS From The Official Website Then Put Them In A Single Folder In My Internal Hard Disk. Then I Run Wubi, And It Got Installed Within 2 Minutes. And Then I Rebooted My PC. Then Ubuntu Loaded Up And There Were No Icons Anywhere Just A Black Bar At The Top And The Ubuntu Default Background Wallpaper. Then A popup Came Up Saying Verifying Files And Then A Box Popped Up Saying "No Root File System Defined, Fix This In Partitioning Menu". I Tried To Close It But It Pops Up Again. And Im Stuck Here With Absolutely No Idea What To Do. Im Good At Windows But I Have Zero Experience Of Linux Ubuntu. I Need Help Desperately!

Welcome to the forums.

I do not know wubi, but I do not think you have it installed, you just downloaded the installer. And it is having issues installing.

Is this a Windows 8 system that was pre-installed. All systems with Windows 8 pre-installed use the new UEFI and with UEFI you have to have the new gpt partitioning.

Wubi does not work with gpt partitioning.
