How to Install Ubuntu using Wubi!

0 comments
In this video we will cover a quick and easy way to setup a dual boot system using the Wubi Installer. If you have never heard of the Wubi Installer, you may be wondering what it is.  Wubi is essentially a small application that grants the user the ability to start the Ubuntu install from with the Windows operating system. The magic doesn't stop there though.  At any point later, if you decide you want to wipe Ubuntu to reclaim the used hard drive space, or in attempt to wipe the drive and move solely into Linux from Windows, you can simply boot into Windows and remove the Ubuntu installation just as if it were a native Windows application from within the 'Add/Remove Programs' option in the Control Panel.

The Ubuntu installer has certainly gotten a lot better about keeping the 'confusion-factor' down for new user's when it comes to setting up a multi-operating system setup.  But Wubi takes just about all of the mystery out of it from the get go.  So be sure to checkout our video:
