Installing Ubuntu from a Windows system

Although this blog is not meant for discussing techie stuff , but still I am posting this topic because this can be helpful for the lovers of Ubuntu.

So if you want to install ubuntu from a windows system , use 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.
