Same problem here. OS: Windows 7 64-Bit Partitions: 1 System-reserved, 1 C:\, 1 D:\ Tested with: ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso
After running the Wubi-Installer and rebooting, the setup-dialog stops at 271% and the error message pops up: "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu" So I booted the LiveCD and tried to run the installer from there. In the Live-Environment I can easily access the Windows-Partitions and GParted shows all the partitions, but when I start the installer, no hard drive appears in the "Allocate drive space"-dialog. Nevertheless I can choose "/dev/sda" to install the bootloader on. However when I click on "Install Now", the error message mentioned above occurs again (No root file system is defined ....). fdisk provides additional information: It says that the "System- reserved"-Partition "does not end on cylinder boundary". (Screenshot attached) I tried to access the Wubi-VirtualDisks from Windows to provide the requested logs using some ext2/ext3-drivers/explorers but without success. I can attach the logs from the LiveCD, if that helps. Towards the end of the year I will reinstall Windows 7 and try to install without the "System-reserved"-Partition and see if that helps. @thefons: afair Wubi does not support RAID ** Attachment added: "Screenshot-003.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/259540/+attachment/1719393/+files/Screenshot-003.png -- Wubi - "No root file system is defined" error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259540 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
