Install Ubuntu inside Windows

Some may ask why you need to install the new one, wasn't the old version worked fine? I must confess that I just want to try the latest version: Ubuntu 9.04.

The original 7.10 version had no good support on ATI graphic cards and I installed a open source driver fglrx.

After online updates to 8.04 and 8.10, the old driver could not work well. It ran in only Ubuntu low-graphic mode. At that time I thought it may be okay to continue and I kept on updating to 9.04.

However, after rebooting to finish updating, I couldn't even see the login menu.

Since I have driver problem, CD-ROM problem, I need to install by some other method. My computer had dual OS and I can use this advantage.

First I fixed the MBR to boot from Windows XP only. Later I delete the Ubuntu partition and formatted as NTFS drive.

Login to Windows and put the Ubuntu 9.04 CD to the external CD-ROM. Select Install inside Windows in the Ubuntu CD menu and set essential parameters. After the data all copied to your disk, you can reboot the system. Now the Windows Boot Manager will be shown and you can choose Ubuntu to finish the installation.

If you want to uninstall the Ubuntu, you can remove it from Windows Add/Remove Programs. It it easy, isn't it.
