Upgrade or replace a Wubi installation?
- by Torben Gundtofte-Bruun
I've got Windows 7 with Wubi 11.10 installed. I would like to upgrade to 12.04 but I'm not sure what the best path would be.
I'm not skilled enough to use Ubuntu all the time, and my iPhone requires me to run some Windows version for the damn iTunes software. I would love to run Windows XP but I can't figure out how to install it via USB -- my computer has no cd drive.
I'd like to run Windows XP and Wubi 12.04 on top of that. Or, perhaps, Ubuntu 12.04 natively and Windows XP alongside of that. So I guess I have 2 questions:
(lazy) Should I upgrade my Wubi from inside Ubuntu, or should I remove Wubi 11.10 from within Windows and install a brand new Wubi 12.04?
(proper) How can I install Windows XP and Ubuntu 12.04 alongside each other?
Update: I am going to create a separate question post about the above #2 question... I realize it's wrong to ask two questions in one post when they are that different.
