    Question Installing Without CD. USB, or WUBI

    Is there any way to install Ubuntu without a CD, USB, or WUBI? My netbook doesn't have a CD drive and I don't want to pay for one. I don't have a spare USB I can use, and I want to use all 250 GB's of my hard drive, not just the 30 I can get using WUBI. Is this possible?

    It seems like all of these are for installing it from Ubuntu, not Windows.

    well you are limited in your options, you are restricting all the mediums for installing.

    If you can set up a network share then as posted you can do a network install

    You can install with Wubi and move it to a partition . http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...wubi+partition

    Because of the 30 Gb limitation , when moved to a partition A Wubi installation no longer has that limitation . I would not have suggested it otherwise .
