0. Before carrying out the steps below ensure you create a partition you want to install the os by shrinking your current os partition and selecting the size you want to create in "computer management"
1. Insert the bootable disk into the disk drive
2. Boot from the disk (using one of the function keys)
3. Follow the os guide to install it, when you get to the options of how you want to install it. Select "something else"
4. Go to the partition you want install the os and and select "ext4" as partition table
5. Select the "/" also
6. Click "ok"
7. Make sure you change the partition to install ubuntu to the one you shrinked earlier on.
8. Click next, you should be able to do the rest alone.

The use of wubi won't work effectively like the steps i posted above. Just follow those steps and if you don't understand anything let me know.

OK, I have partition my HDD into 2 and I have window 7 and 8 in both partitions. I like to install Ubuntu inside window7 using wubi...... I have the Ubuntu 12.01

It doesn't work that way, the best method to do it are the steps I listed earlier on, just follow them. You may corrupt your boot mgr trying to use wubi.

boss I have a problem installing ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my dell inspiron 3520. The problem is that the ubuntu os refuses to recognize the partitions I created using windows 7 when I get to step 4. As a matter of fact it thinks there is no other operating system and sees my harddisk drive as a single unit. Please I need your help on this issue

From your write up, I think you don't understand how to install it.

Choose "something else" then go on with the next steps.

Anyways I can guide you through it on whatsapp.

Choice of distribution is relative, red hat is usually better for oracle based developers (at least red hat is ed by oracle) but generally it's a matter of choice. Ubuntu is good because there is a lot of community based , if you do a google search for any issue, chances are that 30-60% if not more of the solutions found would be ubuntu-based. That said, most solutions can be applied to almost any other linux distro. At the end of the day, you will be the judge of which distro works best for you

what is wubi?

tsdarkside:


what is wubi?

Windows Ubuntu Based Installer . It's use to install Ubuntu inside window operating system. So instead of removing all ur operating system, u can install Ubuntu inside ur window 7 or xp.

Windows first,
The linux bootloader will detect windows installations. Windows only cares about windows

Wubi sort of makes installation easier, but linux installed using wubi is slower than linux installed in it's own partition. Also because wubi creates a file inside a windows partition where it installs linux, if your windows gets corrupt it means you probably won't be able to access your linux either (unless the file is in another partition)

You can also create new partitions during ubuntu installations using wubi, and then you get the same boot options as a regular installation.
