At first I was downloading Ubuntu 12.10 using Windows Installer, but I cancelled it after just 2-3 minutes and dowloaded 32-Bit ISO (ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386).

Then I created bootable USB Stick (new HP 210 v210 w) using Pendrivelinux (Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.1.4).

  • I Formatted D Drive. (Both by Windows & EaseUS)
  • I've set boot priority correctly.

But after getting message

"Boot Error",

  • I ran wubi.exe directly from USB drive.

Now the message is

"A previous installation was detected in D:\ubuntu. Please uninstall that before continuing."

  • I formatted D: again and performed disk check, surface test using EaseUS. It shows no error or bad sectors.

  • Formatted & checked my pendrive too.

  • Directly ran .iso.

But same error keeps coming.

I found way around above problems, by copying extracted .iso on D:\ and installing Ubuntu using wubi.exe and though on boot it was shown with Windows 7, selecting it caused following error

  • Try hd(0,0): NTFS5 : No wubildr Try hd(0,1): NTFS5 :

So, I uninstalled it and Reeinstalled it

  • Now installation fails at around 7mins saying

" An error occurred. No space left on device. For more info please see log file "

My D: is a 9 GB partition. (99% Free)

Ubuntu Site 12.10 says it needs around 4.5 GB.

  • Now Trying it by extendin D: to 10 GB...

  • Got No wubildr.

Please help.
