fix-this! Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 i really didn't want to create partitions or have to deal with grub menu for ubuntu 8.04, so i tried to install side by side with my other operating systems with the wubi installer. after install i get an error to repair the disk and it wont let me boot into ubuntu at all. any ideas how to fix this issue guys ?

Rick Robles Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Mine also failed... tried to install alongside Vista, it went smooth, until it complained about a missing file and something about NTFS? I'm guessing it does not work if you/we install on a NTFS partition.. so maybe that's your problem. I'm sure some one can help us here.. Rick P.S. I installed to another harddrive, not the one with vista, but it's formates as NTFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hiroshi- Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Worked here so far, installed from a DVD (Painfully didn't have any CD-Rs), and installed with the disk from inside Windows Vista. Only issue right now is that it's Restricted Drivers manager is buggy, and the repositories are crippled. 200GB NTFS SATA drive -rebooted after installing restricted drivers- wow... 51hz again..-.- Time for me to fiddle with drivers for Geforce 7600...

Mieky242 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 smooth3006, I also had a similar problem, try running the fsck command and accept all changes when you get a prompt. This did the trick for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
