How to install Ubuntu Linux without CD bootable USB stick without

Hey friends, in today's video tutorial to see how we can install a Linux OS (Ubuntu Linux in our case) without the need of a CD, DVD or USB stick bootable. Because I've done in the past a tutorial on How to install Windows Vista, 7 or 8 without DVD or USB stick and you have called the comments section about each install Linux without a CD or bootable stick, I decided to make this tutorial.
Before you follow this tutorial to say that I assumed that you already have installed as a main operating system but probabl want to install Windows and Ubuntu or another Linux distribution. Maybe you have an older computer that does not have an optical drive to use a bootable CD in order to install and do not have at hand a bootable USB stick or can simply optical drive is broken.
At first you will still need to have at least an internet connection to download the required or if you have no internet connection, you can get a friend to download UNetbootin, EasyBCD and an ISO with Linux wanted you.
If we have the 3 some necessary first step is to run the UNetbootin to prepare the ground. It will extract the files for installation of Linux, Windows partition, and then will change the boot loader and restart will have the option to choose between Windows and UNetbootin.
If you choose to enter the UNetbootin, we get virtually Ubuntu operating system but it will run in live mode (not make changes to the partitions but after restart, settings and changes made in Ubuntu Live will lose it unless you have chosen as UNetbootin to do and a persistence cache)
Towards the end I invite you to watch the video tutorial to see exactly what are the steps to install Linux without a CD or USB stick bootable and if you'd like a tutorial on the same thing but with the main operating system already installed a Linux all, remember to I ask this in the comments box of this tutoril.

    Bogdan: With Windows already installed can use Wubi help.ubuntu.com / community / Wubi

    If you choose to use Wubi major drawbacks:
    Because Linux will be installed on Windows, you will not have real performance, as if it were installed on its own partition, in EXT4 format. With Wubi you don't do a "native" installation
    The second drawback is that you can not access the data on the partition that you chose to install Ubuntu with Wubi (while you are in Ubuntu)
    Wubi is useful only if you want to play, to test Ubuntu, not install it.

      Wubi install on another partition may not necessarily Windows.Diferenta partition that is installed is that you can choose to boot the operating system, Windows or Ubuntu.

      It's easy. UNetbootin go and Ubuntu, do the same steps as on Windows. Instead you can use Easy BCD you install Grub Customizer typing the following command in the terminal:
      sudo add-apt-repository ppa: danielrichter2007 / grub-customizer
      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get install grub-customizer

    I have a question. Why always prefer English? If the program has the option of Romanian language, why prefer English?

    • No Adrian but an explanation that I think he would give it is that not all sites have soft Romanian and so prefer and those who use English Romanian language. I think I got used to it. In IT there are many words in English that if you get used to them in Romanian one is gonna sound weird. Plus the translation of names is not always correct. Of course this is just my opinion. Adrian may have another explanation

  46. I tried to install ubuntu alongside win 7, everything went perfect. near completion alerted me that it can not complete the installation of the boot loader and use another device.

I warn you that it is error loading the boot loader. though he sees not let me complete the installation. I followed exactly all the steps. I tried three times. may have to try another Linux? expect an answer. Thanks in advance.

    I have Ubuntu 15.4, and it gives me big pb!… My menu bar has disappeared and I can't close / open the program in Firefox / Google Chrome. The first time I managed to do it, but the second hour no thought! … Does not respond to the alt + f2 key to open the terminal and put what others have used…! A colleague managed to install a bar menu that closes with sudo poweroff and password, but you can't move the chrome goggles on the screen, which is once open, and now I can't even exit! No longer have the option to make the window small, close it, down, or how big the screen? If I download it from Ubuntu Software Center and reinstall it over the one with pb, will the existing pb be corrected, returning the menu bar as before? I gave up windos 1 because I had a pb, telling myself that with Ubuntu I won't have it at all, it only lasted 7 months… I noticed that the disappearance of the menu bar is also due to the unplugging before the lapel top closes complete… Any help?

    Thank you in advance

    • the tendency of the base said

      I recommend windows lite is just my opinion you are not obliged to implement this idea but if you want to search the internet (windows lite) I will not give details because not everyone will agree to this possibility even if you do it at your own risk because they will always be evasive answers like "it doesn't work enough or there are errors in some applications" become those who deal with programming that leaves certain gates open, so in conclusion thank you for what you have.

  76. and i want if i can not uninstall mxlinux17 even without stck useb and dvd can put the other hard ubuntu mate.
    And that's because Linux does not allow any DVD to open.
    i'm sorry i do not feel good in mxlinux and i want to change it ..
    or at least put the other hard [1Tb] ubuntu mate

    A! and does not have cdroom so I took a stck of memory I set in the bios to take off the usb .. I watched the tutorial [because of the stick does not want]
    I took a bootet drive and here's what it turned out: booting 'boot drive'
    [Hd0,0]
    Filesystem tipe is ntfs, partition type0x7
    [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x4200. size=0x821af8]

    Error 16: Inconsistent filesystem structure
    Press any key to continue
    and if you hit any Keie you get to the same window: to install unutu, to try ubuntu, to test the memory, to test if the cd has faulty
    nothing in this list can get you out of the situation above
