Install ubuntu 12.10 with wubi and keep old ubuntu 11.10 wubi installation
I'd like you to help me, if you may!
I need to install ubuntu 12.10 on my notebook, which has Windows 7 as default OS, and I prefer to install it through wubi just to get the least problems in terms of warranty
(therefore, freeing space to create an empty partition and putting a full install on it is not an answer in my case)
My Hard Disk Drive current setup is the following:
100 MB NTFS - Windows System - Primary Partition
(C:) 270 GB NTFS - Windows 7 OS - Primary Partition
(D:) 400 GB NTFS - Logical Partition
24 GB - Recovery Stuff - Primary Partition
I already installed ubuntu 11.10 using wubi ( in D: ), and I NEED to keep that installation because I will be working on that setup in the future
(upgrading isn't an option either, i need 11.10 as it is)
I already backed up 11.10 folder, and let's say I renamed "D:\ubuntu" to "D:\ubuntuOld"
1) Is there a way to install ubuntu 12.10 (again, in D:) with wubi in a separate folder (with separate root.disk)? can you explain me how?
2) It would be best if I could choose which version to boot between 12.10 and 11.10 ... but swapping root.disk files when I need the other ubuntu version, would do the trick for me, if that can be done.
Either way I'd like you to explain me what I should do in order to get those results.
I searched for an answer but I wasn't completely sure of the procedures to apply in order to get exactly what I wanted, without screwing up everything!
Looks like I need to be guided step by step, so please help me! ("you're my only hope!")
