Wubi - Run Ubuntu from a folder on your hard drive

The .exe called Wubi (windows ubuntu installer) is a very handy tool...with it you can install the latest Ubuntu or other distros to a folder on your hard drive and use
Ubuntu etc. without harming your Windows installation...it installs just like another program on the drive-or other partition you point it to....give it a try today as I have and run Ubuntu from the startup screen
Download the latest Ubuntu 10.10 and Wubi is already on the .iso file-burn to a CD with IMGBURN...click on the "Wubi" icon and hit the button "install inside Windows"- pick your partition-add your user name and password- let it install then reboot hit "Ubuntu" on the startup page (you will see windows and ubuntu-your choice) the installation will finish the install and super, duper you are running the latest and greatest Ubuntu to date!

If you decide you don't want Ubuntu anymore just go into Add/Remove programs and click uninstall Ubuntu...but you won't cuz it is a great system!
