Wubi

[Stephen]

Wubi wrks great, but if you are useing raid that ubuntu doesnt know
what to do with it will break. in single drive scenarios its fine.

no need to fidgit with partitions as its becomes a file, similar to a
virtual machine image within the NTFS structure, and then you have a
specific share that is then linked to your Ubuntu install.

and then it pop up in your windows OS choices list.
