Installing Ubuntu From A Windows System With Wubi
Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows that lets you install and
uninstall Ubuntu from a Windows desktop. Wubi adds an entry to the
Windows boot menu which allows you to run Linux. Ubuntu is installed
within a file in the Windows file system (a loopmounted partition),
this file is seen by Ubuntu as a real hard disk. That way the hard
drive does not have to be repartitioned before the Ubuntu installation.
The resulting Ubuntu installation is a “real” Linux system, not just a
virtual machine. Wubi makes it easy for Linux newbies to play around
with Ubuntu.
