About 8 months ago I installed 12.04LTS via wubi, then chose to fully install and I selected for it to install alongside windows

Fast forward to today, and I really hate Windows 8 (it previously had 7 installed) and I want to fully install Ubuntu over windows.

I've tried to use wubi again and unetbootin and all of that, to no avail. I just want the most blunt, fast, and effective way to install only Ubuntu and get rid of Windows forever

Cheers,

Austin

I tried pendrivelinux yesterday and it worked like a charm. Supposing you want to install Ubuntu 12.04 i386 from an USB drive

  • Ok, it worked but I was expecting to see something like this assets.ubuntu.com/sites/ubuntu/672/u/img/download/… there, but there isn't. Remember I want to install Ubuntu over windows and have only ubuntu running, Thanks!
