Re: Ubuntu not working on windows
You most probably have a corrupt download. Where exactly did you download Ubuntu from? Did you check the checksums (SHA, MD5, etc.)?
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
