[wubi] Hangs at verifying the installation configuration

[Vortex99]

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 inside windows using Wubi. But, when I reboot the computer and select ubuntu, I'm faced with an installation popup box which shows "Verifying the installation configuration" The progress bar becomes full and then it just hangs and does not progress any further into the installation.Even if try close the box.It doesn't close.
The only solution out of this is restarting the computer.
What maybe the problem..?

Wubi sucks. Install Ubuntu the way it's meant to be installed, or use a VM.

Just erase whatever you did earlier, and download a fresh .ISO file of Ubuntu and burn it on a bootable CD, or on a bootable pendrive, boot from the CD/Pendrive and install it the normal was as said by m0skit0...

PS. If you never booted from a USB device, you may need to change Boot sequence in your BIOS settings while the device is connected and bring the USB device on top, some PCs don't need it though...

Same applies if you burn it on a disc. Most computers are set to boot up from the HDD by default, especially if you bought it with Windows preinstalled. As for the "while the device is connected part", I think he means that if you use a USB stick, you'll have to boot your computer with the stick inserted, then go to the BIOS settings.

Thanks for pointing that out! I don't know about other PCs, but my 2 laptops and 1 desktop doesn't need it, they directly boot from the CD if its bootable, It maybe because I never tried to run my own burnt CD, but one from the manufacturer itself, I have no idea about the other PCs though!

Yep I do mean that!

The default boot order on my PC was Floppy > HDD > CD/DVD. For my laptop, it was HDD > CD/DVD. Also, there's no difference if you burnt it yourself or have bought it.

I installed Ubuntu.. Using the first option i.e install side by side... But now i cannot boot into windows.. If i click on windows in the grub boot menu.. The screen goes black for around 3 seconds.. Then it returns back to the same boot menu.. Should i update grub.. Or is there any other solution...

Update:- I reinstalled Ubuntu now it works fine...
