Hello
Finally fixed my net book which had a cracked screen. This note book PC is an Acer aspire one and I am using Ubuntu 9.10 on it. The problem is I couldn't get the wireless configured so I decided to download a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 from Ubuntu.com and install it on a USB disk as per instructions on the Ubuntu.com site. I installed it on the computer with Ubuntu 9.10.
After installing 12.04 on my USB disk a message came up saying it was successfully installed and could be used on any computer. So I tried double clicking on the wubi icon on the USB and got this error:
An Error occurred while loading the archive
Command Line Output
Archive: /media/PENDRIVE/wubi.exe
[/media/PENDRIVE/wubi.exe]
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
note: /media/PENDRIVE/wubi.exe may be a plain executable, not an archive
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /media/PENDRIVE/wubi.exe or
/media/PENDRIVE/wubi.exe.zip, and cannot find /media/PENDRIVE/wubi.exe.ZIP, period.
I also tried changing the boot order on startup and got this error:
SYSLINUX 3.63 Debian-2008-07-15 EBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2008 H. Peter Anvin
Unknown keyword in configuration file.
boot:
I put the USB into a PC with windows and the wubi file boots fine.
I would appreciate any suggestions as to what I could do to solve this. Thanks
Ben
