@Perry – You’re welcome! I’m not sure whether it would work because if you upgrade to Windows ME, then it means that the bootloader would be changed as well and WUBI doesn’t work with ME’s bootloader.

But if you want to try it you can. Who knows, it might work. :)

Thanks for the reply JAYPEE,

Would it be possible for me to install Windows 98 and then use WUBI to install Ubuntu – and then install my Windows ME upgrade disk over 98 (while retaining my old files) and expect the Wubi program to still work?

@Perry – As far as I know Wubi won’t work with Windows ME because this version of Windows uses a different type of bootloader that won’t let Wubi install and run properly.

If you really want to use Ubuntu, the only solution I can think of is partitioning your hard drive and installing Ubuntu so you can dual boot it with Windows ME.

Does the Wubi program have any new fixes that would allow it to run with ME, or is that still unsupported OS?

thanks Wubi.

everytime I want to check Ubuntu I use Live CD not installing it as I dont want to mess with my windows installation. with this I am more confident.

thanks, good help.
