What is the Installation Size for Ubuntu (Wubi)?
By Administrator on Dec 1, 2010 in Wubi
I need to install Ubuntu inside of Windows XP, however the installer consult me to key in an (installation size) that should differ in between 3 to 30GBs. I have an internal hard disk of 60GBs with 30GBs free. My query is if I allocated 30GBs for Ubuntu, would I manage to utilize this room in at the exact same time Windows and Ubuntu? the only real good reason that I’m working while using Wubi method is considering I don’t wand to lose room from portioning the hard drive.
Thank you so substantially for the answer, you actually served a lot… 10GBs sounds good for just about any start. But my matter is the truth that I only have 30GBs of free room and I want to allocate as substantially room as probable for Ubuntu but at the same, I want to manage to utilize Windows and retain data in it. So assuming that I allocated, say 20GBs for Ubuntu, now, If I ran beyond room in Windows, will I manage to utilize some of the room that was allocated for Ubuntu in Windows or the room that I allocate for it is preparing to be repaired and never available much just like a partition?

Assuming you’ve set this up exactly as you describe, the choice really is yours. A 3GB setup will allow you to see Ubuntu although I’m not 100% certain how much additional stuff will be in addition to the basics. If you allow 10GB, I’m fairly certain you get all of the software you would get as if you were to install to its own partition.
Something else you may want to try is Virtual PC. This is an alternate method that may (or may not) work well for you.
I’m sorry I don’t know more about this particular method. I’ve had a few problems along the way with Ubuntu (as an install on a partition) so while I wish I could help more, I am unable to.

Installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot with Windows XP without partitioning

You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.
Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.
Boot in to windows insert the Ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where the Wubi installer comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Ubuntu (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.
Once Ubuntu is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Ubuntu
