I have installed 12.04 via WUBI because my computer does not have a CD Drive. Is there any way that I can delete Windows 7 from my computer and use the whole HD for Ubuntu? I ask this question because for one reason or another I cannot boot from a boot-able USB stick (either in Windows or Ubuntu, however the USB port works because I am able to use my cell phone's tethering plan using all the USB ports to connect to the Internet).

Edit: Just found out the problem. Eee PC Model 1018p's do not boot from any format other than FAT and FAT16 and not FAT32.

  • Did you enable boot from USB in BIOS. "for one reason or another I can not boot from a bootable USB stick (either in Windows or Ubuntu"

  • I did enable boot from USB in the BIOS, but to no avail. Asus support could not help me, so I thought that perhaps there was a solution that I was missing.

  • Do you have the latest BIOS installed. You can go to asus page on your computer to see if there has been an update

Use the WUBI install to make a bootable LiveUSB with Startup Disk Creator. You will be able to boot off the USB but you might need to consult the manual. There's often a short-cut key (for example on the EeePC) that is the easiest way to get a boot menu to boot off the USB.

  • The problem was right in front of my face - my Eee PC (Model 1018p) will not boot from USB using any file format other than FAT and FAT16. I used FAT32. I am sorry for posting this question, I feel silly now.

Could you go into Boot in the Bios and make removable device 1st, and disable the rest of the boot device priorities.

Hope this can work for you!
