@theDaveTheRave: The installation generated by UNetbootin should be exactly the same as a standard (CD-based) Ubuntu install, so I am not sure why it is not autodetecting the windows partition. Can...
@people getting black screens: could you post your syslinux.cfg here? Also, can you enable debugging by removing the "quiet splash" options in the append: line in syslinux.cfg? If UNetbootin does not...
@Kibagari: If the system reports no operating system on the drive, then either the installation failed completely (this should give you a BIOS Error) or your GRUB menu.lst is wrong (this should give...
@azha,Chevron36, and others whose GRUB menu.lst contains empty () entries:
Could you post the output of
sudo fdisk -l
This is the command that LVPM parses to determine the partition setup, so if...
@EvanRogers: Can you boot into windows, or only access the wubi-installed Ubuntu? Can you post the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst in your Ubuntu partition?
You should have an entry for the...
@JR Tyner:
Check the AppDB on WineHQ http://appdb.winehq.org/ to find if your windows programs work in wine. Also note that UNetbootin will create a LiveUSB, so you will need to create another...
@ranger_cole:
You could try partitioning the USB disk using parted magic. Then you should be able to perform a LiveUSB or full install to the new partition with UNetbootin.

Welcome to the Ubuntu community!
For the card reader, you could try finding out the manufacturer and model using the "dmesg" or "lspci" commands (use "dmesg | more" or "lspci | more" if you want...
Are you trying to install Ubuntu onto a USB drive? In that case, it is much easier to use UNetbootin (http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/) which will automate the process for you.
Does this only happen after installation, or are there problems when you try to use the liveCD?
If the liveCD works, but the installation doesn't, did you run out of hard-drive space? Check if you...
You can back up your data with explore2fs http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs .
Wubi lives on the windows partition and requires the windows bootloader to run, so erasing the windows partition will also wipe out ubuntu. Instead, you should try the lvpm utility...
Do you have dhcp enabled on your router and computer? This should automatically assign the computer an ip address, so you will not have to mess around with gateways, etc.
If that does not fix the...
Yes, you can run wubi.exe from the command prompt with the "--skipmemorycheck" parameter. However, you will experience decreased performance, so I recommend that you choose the lighter-weight xubuntu...
Do you have encryption (Bitlocker) turned on? If yes, then wubi will not work. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=875570
If you are not using encryption, and wubi still does not work, then...
Yes, I meant the "startup repair", but apparently that is not working for you. It would probably be best if you could back up all your data to an external harddrive, or burn it to a CD/DVD before...
What video card do you have? If you are using an nvidia video card with proprietary drivers, then you could try "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings", and using it to generate an xorg.conf file....
If you have the vista CD, then I think you can do a "repair" install, which overwrites a few system files that are needed for booting. However, this will overwrite the boot menu also, so you will not...
Kernel upgrade with Wubi running on NTFS should be possible. On the other hand, FAT32 does not support hard-links, and has 4GB file limit size (this is the largest virtual disk that you can have), so...
It seems that there is a bug in your mouse's firmware (see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/74069 ), so you might want to try updating the firmware first.
If the...
On windows, are you using NTFS or FAT32 filesystem? FAT32 only supports up to 4GB files, so that would be your maximum virtual disk size.
Also, open up a terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) and post the...
It seems to be freezing while looking for your hard drive. Are you using RAID or encryption?
Edit: on second thought, it might be a motherboard issue, maybe update the bios?...
Fix screen resolution with system > preferences > screen resolution.
For sound and video, find out what hardware you have: open up a terminal (applications > accessories > terminal) and type in...
Earlier versions of Wubi had a similar bug, but if you are using the latest version (8.04.1), then the installer should have prompted you for a user name if you left it empty. If the...
