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.

Hello !
I would be interested very much a tutorial on changing player in XBMC with another, external (eg: MX Player). Also I think it would be interesting and one on using the SD card from android to help RAM (Memory Ram addition of SD card).
Thank you.
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.
I want some tutorial with Ubuntu host!
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
Bravo! Congratulations! Very good tutorial!
bravo. Thanks a lot. you spared Adrian minutes 30 3 work in terminal. ACU can do another videotutorial for example how to do a mail server on Linux.
Hey, if you have 50 gb storage to how you make partitions? I mean, how you allocate and how you allocate Ubuntu Windows?
Hi Adrian I would like to ask if you can install windows or ubuntu on a server on the internet that is have a server there and put sifierele times where I have an internet cenectiune I could reinstall the operating system
"Failed to create swap space"
No USB stick!! but so is the title's tutorial stick. WTF??
Get uitete once.
In UNetbootin Adrian chose the harddisk and partition c
