So I downloaded the iso : ubuntu- 14.04.3 -desktop- amd64 in order to burn it to a USB key to this I used the pendrive which allows me to burn the iso on my key . After that I opened the app Wubi to install ubuntu on my laptop . After install and reboot , I can not seem to open ubuntu on my PC , he wrote me that there is an error on the file whose path is:

/ubuntu/winboot/wubildr.mbr

I do the same steps on my computer and everything is working normally .... :( :( :(

I do not understand why my laptop it does not work ... I tried to reinstall it with other means but the problem persists. And I do not want to erase Windows 10 to put ubuntu .

There is anyone who could help me please ???? :'( ...

Wubi does not work with Windows 8, 8.1, or 10. You will have to install Ubuntu on its own partition. Instructions here: Installing Ubuntu Alongside a Pre-Installed Windows with UEFI

Probably, you use Windows in UEFI mode. If your Windows is installed in UEFI mode (=default mode for Windows 10), Microsoft has blocked the loading of non-UEFI or non-Windows bootloader from Windows boot menu. Same issue with tools like EasyBCD. See here. This means the bootloader of all official Wubi versions does not work.

You can use either a standard installation without Wubi (recommended - see here ) or community developed Wubi versions which support UEFI. See here.

I use Windows in UEFI mode, a recommended standard Ubuntu installation and a Wubi installed Ubuntu on the same machine. All works without problems. After installation all bootloaders are available in the UEFI menu of your machine.
