How do I install Ubuntu without a USB or a CD?
0
I want to install Ubuntu Desktop 17.10 on my Windows 10 computer. Problem is, I tried to use Unetbootin and when I selected it on the OS menu, it displayed an error message saying to insert a Windows 10 disk (even though I have already got Windows 10 installed) and showed me the file I "was missing". So I tried to find the software called Wubi which apparently is on the download page for Ubuntu, but I couldn't find it. I don't think it's even on the ISO. Can you please help? I don't want to use a VM.
Update: I have finally gotten a USB.

Possible duplicate of What is the proper way of creating installation media from Ubuntu iso? and How do I install Ubuntu alongside a pre-installed Windows with UEFI? and you are right, the Ubuntu 17.10 ISO file does not include wubi and UNetbootin is not so good for making bootable Ubuntu installation media.

Wubi is not supported on Windows 8 or 10. You can either (1) install Ubuntu as a separate OS and use Dual Boot (i.e. at start-up time, choose which OS you want to boot) or (2) use VirtualBox on Windows 10 and install Ubuntu in a virtual machine.

It is possible but rather difficult to install Ubuntu without a USB drive or DVD disk. Why do you want to install without it? Is there no USB port and no DVD drive on the computer? Can you connect two drives internally (for example two hard disk drives)? Can you use another computer with USB or DVD to do the installation? Do you mean version 7.10 (passed end of life long ago) or the current version 17.10.1?

It looks like you were able to create a bootable USB stick with Unetbootin. Did you? But when you are trying to install Ubuntu with this bootable USB stick it asks for the signature file for Windows 10 because you have still "secure boot" enabled in the systems BIOS. Try to go in the systems BIOS and verify that "secure boot" is disabled. (When "secure boot" is enabled it will check for a predefined signature on the boot medium, which is typically only available for Windows boot/install media.)

My Windows 10 does have a virtual DVD drive I can mount to, but other than that I don't have any spare DVD-Rs to write to, nor any USB sticks. And Netboot seems to complicated to use. Are there any alternate downloads for 7.10 that includes an installer?

My first advice is to use Rufus to install your Ubuntu image on a USB stick. You can find it here https://rufus.akeo.ie/
It's like Unetbootin but more efficient (in my opinion). When i use it, it doesn't ask to insert a windows 10 disk. (And i don't understand why Unetbootin ask this)
Otherwise, you can install Ubuntu over network with the Netboot install. you can find some help on the official Ubuntu website here -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot
But be aware that is not easy like the USB installation.

While the Rufus software may be a useful alternative, it is still about creating a USB stick. However this may resolve the issue. The netboot option on the other hand requires either a netboot medium (CD/DVD/USB) and access to internet to access the repositories or a PXE enabled networkcard on the computer and a separate prepared Linux-server with DHCP server and tftp server.

Maybe it is just a "secure boot" problem. Anyway, if he really doesn't want to use USB or CD/DVD for any reason, the netboot option seems to be the last one.

My Windows 10 does have a virtual DVD drive I can mount to, but other than that I don't have any spare DVD-Rs to write to, nor any USB sticks. And Netboot seems to complicated to use. Are there any alternate downloads for 7.10 that includes an installer?

You can't install your Ubuntu (or any operating system) with a virtual drive in Windows 10. And why do you want the 7.10 edition? For some test? Did you consider trying a Virtual Machine for that?

Possible duplicate of What is the proper way of creating installation media from Ubuntu iso? and How do I install Ubuntu alongside a pre-installed Windows with UEFI? and you are right, the Ubuntu 17.10 ISO file does not include wubi and UNetbootin is not so good for making bootable Ubuntu installation media.

Wubi is not supported on Windows 8 or 10. You can either (1) install Ubuntu as a separate OS and use Dual Boot (i.e. at start-up time, choose which OS you want to boot) or (2) use VirtualBox on Windows 10 and install Ubuntu in a virtual machine.

It is possible but rather difficult to install Ubuntu without a USB drive or DVD disk. Why do you want to install without it? Is there no USB port and no DVD drive on the computer? Can you connect two drives internally (for example two hard disk drives)? Can you use another computer with USB or DVD to do the installation? Do you mean version 7.10 (passed end of life long ago) or the current version 17.10.1?

It looks like you were able to create a bootable USB stick with Unetbootin. Did you? But when you are trying to install Ubuntu with this bootable USB stick it asks for the signature file for Windows 10 because you have still "secure boot" enabled in the systems BIOS. Try to go in the systems BIOS and verify that "secure boot" is disabled. (When "secure boot" is enabled it will check for a predefined signature on the boot medium, which is typically only available for Windows boot/install media.)
