(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello guy's today im gonna explain how to boot into Ubuntu Linux.

Installation

1. Go here and download your Version of Ununtu Linux: You must login or register to view this content. --Desktop Version.

2. Using WinRar extract the ISO to a Folder or any other program you can extract with. If you do not have WinRar you can get it here: You must login or register to view this content.


3. Now you will see about 10 files/folders. Open Wubi and it will then ask you where you want to install linux, So if you want to install it to a Removable Disk then just select the drive its in and continue through the setup. Make a Username and password, Choose which type of Linux you want. Once it has finished installing continue... NOTE: It may ask when the installment has finished for a reboot that is probably the best option, But I didn't do it that way so I don't know if it will boot directly into Linux without going to BIOS/Boot options. If you decide to reboot and it does boot directly then your pretty much finished. Otherwise Continue.

Navigate to the desired area where you have installed linux and make sure that it's there, If not retry step 3.

Booting into Linux

Now that you have installed Linux, Extracted the .ISO to a folder, Then used Wubi to install it to a desired area you are now ready to boot and install Linux.

Restart your PC, Now when it gets to the Manufacture Screen hit ESC a few times now you should see a few Options you wanna choose Boot Options. Now choose the Disk you have installed your Linux to and hit ENTER. NOTE: if its not there then search how to get to boot Options for your PC.

Installation should begin, and once it has complete you should be running your Linux. I hope my Tutorial has helped.
