Ubuntu-14.04 64 bit installation inside windows
- Get the iso image of ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64
- Get the wubi.exe. You can extract it from above iso file also.
- Keep ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso & wubi.exe both in same directory
- Run wubi.exe and follow instructions, you can do it easily.
- Restart windows.
- Wait for completing installation till restart by itself
- When Prompted to select Operating System you want to boot, Select ubuntu
Now, Time to solve the Problem
Serious errors were found while checking the disk for /
- As soon as Grub Menu appears, Press 'E' or 'e'
- Now you will see contents of grub.cfg
- Find the line something like "linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=[bunch-of-numbers] loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro rootflags=sync quiet splash"
- Now Replace ro with rw
- Press ctrl+x to boot
- Log In to your Ubuntu & Open Terminal.
- Run following coomand in terminal
- sudo su
- gedit
- Now using gedit window opened by terminal, open file '/boot/grub/grub.cfg'
- Now search for first occurrence of
menuentry "Ubuntu........."{
...........................
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=[bunch-of-numbers] loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro rootflags=sync quiet splash } - Here too, Replace ro with rw .
- You can do same for next two entries of menuentry "....."{} as they are also to boot ubuntu in advanced mode which is rarely used.
- Now save and close gedit window.
- That's all.
Ubuntu-14.04 32 bit installation inside windows
wubi.exe is configured to insatll 64 bit ubuntu only, so when we run wubi.exe with ubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso it tries to download ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso.
- First of all download any Ubuntu iso , may be old, which can be installed inside windows without any problem, and install it But don't Resatrt.
- Now copy ubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso to C:\ubuntu\install , if installed in C-drive, other wise in X:\ubuntu\install where X is the drive letter.
- Now remove the installation.iso from C:\ubuntu\install and Rename ubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso to installation.iso
- Mount new installation.iso and copy vmlinuz & initrd files(name may slightly differ) to ubuntu\install\boot. If it ask to replace both files then replace & ignore next line.
- Edit ubuntu\install\boot\grub.cfg and replace the name of vmlinuz & initrd (old name of kernel files) with new one copied. Infact need to change in three place only,
- line with search .... vmlinuz...
- linux ...../boot/vmlinuz...
- initrd .../boot/initrd....
- Now reboot windows & if needed follow instruction of above article.
Note: It can be used for any linux based on Debian, which has nearly same directory structure in iso. I have used it for Linux Mint 17 x86 & x64, Elementry-x64 and Zorin.
