WUBI - Linux side-by-side with Windows.. The easy way
Installing a Linux distribution side-by-side with a Windows installation can be a hassle. You have to partition the drive, install trough boot, then wait for Linux to finish installing. Sometimes it will be successful, and sometimes you end up with a corrupted Windows boot record. Sucks doesn’t it?
It doesn’t have to be like that anymore! Wubi is the answer! What is Wubi?
Wubi is a Ubuntu installer for Windows users that will bring you into the Linux world with a single click. Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other application. If you heard about Linux and Ubuntu, if you wanted to try them but you were afraid, Wubi is for you.
You don’t need to modify your pc in any way. It’s just a simple installer, and installs as you would any other program. Plus it’s absolutely free! 
However, Hibernation is not supported under Wubi. Wubi’s filesystem is also more vulnerable to hardreboots (unplugging the power) than a normal filesystem, so you must try to avoid unplugging the power. These problems, however, are no longer present once the Ubuntu install created by Wubi has been transferred to a dedicated partition using LVPM.
