II. Selecting Partition

1. You can use any partition you want because it will not clean up your data on the selected partition.

3. Make sure you partition have at least 17GB free. (minimum space is 15GB)

III. Installing Ubuntu

2. After finish download both file, palce them in D drive (or any partition you want to install ubuntu)


3. Double click on WUBI and you will see this screen.

2. You can remove ubuntu installation from control panel -add/remove program.
3. After log in to your ubuntu - run updates first.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P/s: nothing important here, just if you want to read something (^^)
Ubuntu provide wubi to install ubuntu, i try wubi and it took me like forever to install it. I notice that wubi will first downloading the ISO file for installation (about 1-2 hour to wait). So, my idea is to download the ISO and place it with the wubi, so it will not download the ISO but instead use the ISO i downloaded earlier and it WORKS. I also notice that downloading ISO separately are faster the WUBI downloading it.
