Why is the maximum size of a WUBI-Installation limited to 30GB? If someone has 1TB hdd drive but can't format or create new partitions it would be great to have a bigger wubi.
Tell me more

It is a design decision: Wubi is intented to be used for first time users of Ubuntu and should help answering questions like "Is Ubuntu something I can use?" without having to do any formatting, creating partitions or any other instruction that could potentially destroy their previously used OS. If you want a full fledged install with lots of free space and any feature you might desire you will have to install it with as a multi-boot (or as a single OS removing any other OS). |

I would like not to be forced to use Wubi, but my Dell XPS 630i with a hardware RAID 1 does not allow me to use anything else. I have tried many times to have an Ubuntu - Windows Vista dual boot, but the only Linux CD/DVD that I can boot from is OpenSuse (and it's not a Live one). I really wish to overcome such constraint, but I could only switch to a Wubi solution :-( |
