    Maybe running ubuntu in virtualbox would be an easier and more convenient option.

    My advice would be to get rid of this Wubi install and burn the ISO to a disc. This way, you can have both operating systems, the best of both worlds..and worst. :D Also, if I am ever asked about Linux installations, I always tell others to keep Windows until you know for certain that there is available and suitable software to fit every one of your needs. Many a Linux convert has given up steaming mad because they found out after the fact they could no longer do something as well as they used to.

    I have the English x64: X17-59186.iso (Win7 Pro) from digitalriver, and burned by ImgBurn. It's from a group named "Windows 7 Professional SP1-U ISO". What's media refresh? what's "U"?
    Just scared to use it on win7 which I don't yet understand.

    I should not have hijacked this thread. Will start a new one. Just not yet sure where since my main problem is Windows and not yet Linux.
