I just ran the wubi installer under windows 8.

After reboot, I got the dual boot option. Windows is still working, but Ubuntu only makes the computer restart.

I had no errors during the installation.

Any idea ? Ty

  • With Wubi, you can install and uninstall Ubuntu easily and safely. For 12.04 LTS only.

Wubi is not compatible with computers that come with pre-installed Windows8 (see the warning on the download page: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer )

To install Ubuntu alongside Windows8, see the UEFI community page and this tutorial.

you need to disable the secure boot in the bios

  • Error after chosing the ubuntu system boot is "windows is unable to load, missing files" code : 0x000007B file : \ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr Dec 25, 2013 at 19:01
  • disable uefi and select legacy boot if you have that option in your bios

  • yep just as lovinbuntu said wubi is incompatible. Try installing ubuntu on a separate partition
