Can you run Wubi on Windows 7?

[dkeefe75]

I have tried several times to install Wubi on my Windows 7 RC laptop, but it just never displays the option at start-up. Has anyone had similar issues or found a workaround for this? Thanks.

I ended up just repartitioning my drive and actually installing Ubuntu alongside 7 and XP because I couldnt get wubi to work after the vista bootloader installed. Your best bet is to just install off of usb and repartition your drive with gparted before you install, that way you can also upgrade to grub2 :D

I would of gone with the re-partition/install in the first place. Wubi is for users that was to try out Ubuntu but don't have the basic know-how of installing it from scratch.
