  • Please describe how do you try to boot from DVD. It seems that you are not trying to boot from it, but are trying to run wubi from Windows. – Pilot6 Aug 13 '15 at 15:10
  • @Pilot6 When I insert my win8 installer (for example,) my system boot with it. But when I try that with Ubuntu DVD it doesn't work. – Terlkofski Aug 13 '15 at 15:26
  • When you insert a disk from a running OD, it does not BOOT from it. It starts an autorun application. You need to google what booting is. And I do not recommend installing an OS with this level of knowledge. – Pilot6 Aug 13 '15 at 15:28
  • Whatever tnx. @Pilot6 – Terlkofski Aug 13 '15 at 15:32
  • wasn't the support for wubi stopped after 13.10? –  Aug 14 '15 at 09:45
  • @RonnieDroid Tnx for ur help, but I could solve my problem. I dont know what is the major problem, but I boot 12.02LTS (that I think) then update version to 14LTS. – Terlkofski Aug 14 '15 at 12:30
  • why don't you try to install it from USB? and search in Google for how to make a UEFI bootable USB in windows without using an app. that may help u –  Aug 14 '15 at 12:38

You can not run an install on win 8 through wubi. you have to do a lot of maneuvering to get it to work and unless you have the technical skill i would not recommend it. I don't believe running the live disk will work either even if it where a usb.

We have all had to overcome the initial challenge of installing a second OS from Windows and entering the discovery phase of Linux for which Ubuntu is a good choice.

You could either utilize a VM from within Windows or dual-boot Ubuntu

  1. for the VM approach start here

  2. a brief overview for a dual-boot installation follows:

    1. backup data files from your Windows installation
    2. understand BIOS boot settings, start here
    3. download the latest Ubuntu .iso file
    4. create a BOOT DVD from Windows (use imgBurn)
    5. shutdown your machine
    6. install Ubuntu in dual boot mode, allowing Ubuntu to resize your partition
