MtMCooLBG, thank you for sharing your opinion!
I had no problem installing Ubuntu with Wubi on the same machine when the O.S.
was Vista...
That Vista installation was the one that shipped with the notebook: that
installation had 2 partitions both visible...
One was the system, the other was the "dump" of the Vista's Setup DVD that
shipped with the notebook...
Moreover, the Ubuntu version I installed succesfully on that machine
were 8.10 and 9.04... I read that 9.10 uses a different partitioning
system along with Grub 2 that is still in beta... It could be a possible
cause of the problems we experience but I'm not so sure, since I had no
luck installing 9.04 on the same hardware with Windows 7...
Consider also it could not be Wubi's fault at all, since I also had no
luck with dual booting: the partition manager sees my hard drive as
completely empty... Is it Ubiquity's fault then?
I also had a try on my desktop computer: it has Windows 7 RC x64, 2 SATA2 HD in
RAID 0 and a common HD (both with NTFS)...
Wubi hanged after rebooting, not finding any drive... Ubiquity alone recognized
all partitions and made me resize the normal drive to leave some space for the
2 usual linux partitions... Anyway, despite the install completed successfully,
I was not able to bootstrap Linux (still trying a few tricks with EasyBCD I
gathered on internet)...
I hope this will help someone to sort things out and solve the problem, thanks
in advance,
Stefano
