| I downloaded Wubi Ubuntu 7.04 to my XP to check it out I liked it so I decided to dual boot it with xp I resized and partitioned my drive with Gparted then I used LVPM tool to installed it everything seem to go ok. I can boot to both OS but when I look at,My Computer in xp it only shows my C drive partition When I look at D.Management it shows my 3 partitions my 2nd one which should have Linux on is empty 3rd is swap empty also. Not sure if LVPM tool worked and if so wheres my Ubuntu. And how do I go about correcting this. Thanks for any help |

| Wait, isn't the whole point of Wubi to make it so you don't need to partition? If I'm right then that partition you made is actually empty and Ubuntu is taking up space on your Windows partition. |

| Ext2 IFS For Windows (EXT3FS/EXT2FS drivers for Windows 2000 and XP) I love this thing! It flawlessly reads and writes Linux partitions on Windows, so have fun! You can access them like ordinary old drives using Windows Explorer or any folder view. |
