Wubi: Windows Ubuntu Installer
Friday, February 01, 2008
Wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows. It gets installed as an application and can be uninstalled from Control Panel - Add or Remove Programs. A linux newbie can safely try linux other than Live CD without worrying about partition woes.

The program will download the Ubuntu alternate distro. But if you already have the Ubuntu alternate iso or cd which can be used to create an iso then you can use it and save the time of downloading. Simply put the iso in the C:\Wubi\Install Folder. You can check the version needed from Install Folder.
The program will skip the downloading part & check the checksum. Enjoy!
You can create iso from cd with PowerISO or any other software of your choice.
P.S. Try at your risk! Backup is always handy.
