Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Wubi Installation

Question

I have just (finally) installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my Acer Aspire One netbook, using Wubi.

I have tried to install with a USB stick many times, but failed.

So, now I have a dual boot with Ubuntu and Windows 7. But I want to completely remove Windows 7, just to stay with my Ubuntu only. I have an Internet WiFi connection, but I can not use a USB stick or DVD.

you would better create another partition and install it from a usb/cd drive instead of using wubi. — dlin, Jun 21 '13 at 06:47

WUBI installs Ubuntu within your Windows machine.

You'd have to back up your files, then delete Windows and install Ubuntu, copying your files back afterwards.

Yeah, except he can't reinstall Ubuntu because he can't use a USB stick or DVD =). So his only option is to use the script that migrates Wubi into a full installation. – Alaa Ali Jun 21 '13 at 06:51
