Hello phil, I have not tried using wunbi on a windows xp 64 bit but it should not make much of a difference.
You may have a bad cd or a bad cd drive, i have had some problems loading some cd's with various drives so it may be best to not use one at all, instead just download the files yourself. go to http://wubi-installer.org/ and download wubi.exe Go to your favorite mirror (such as your isp's mirror) and download ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso or ubuntu-10.04-server-amd64.iso and place this in the same directory as wubi.exe and it will use that for the install. wubi uses the normal windows boot loader to launch ubuntu, this is configured by boot.ini, this file is hidden on windows, can you check this file and see if it has a line something like: C:\wubildr.mbr = "Ubuntu" -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
