Question (READ THEM ALL VERY CAREFULLY)




  • Is there any way to install Ubuntu on this computer without any external disk (CD, USB drive, etc)

  • Note : This computer is 64-bit, so this issue did not help me.

  • WUBI does not support UEFI, and This computer uses it.

  • No Virtual PC programs like VirtualBox or VMWare, because it takes memory.



EDIT : I already found a USB drive in my home, so now it is installed on my computer xD

There are 4 ways to install Ubuntu as dual boot on a machine already running windows.




  1. Use a CD. You can't/won't do it.


  2. Use a USB drive. You can't/won't do it.


  3. Use the .iso file in a virtual machine as a means to avoid CD/USB such that it also boots alongside Windows. You claim you can't/won't do it.


  4. WUBI. Not compatible with UEFI.




Sorry, but you're stuck. It may be possible to do something really cunning using Windows ext2 drivers, an iso image extractor and a lot of both Linux and Window know how, but if you could do that you wouldn't need to ask questions here.



I've already provided an answer for machine that have no CD and won't boot from USB. If that's not the solution then you've not communicated your question properly.
