Can you install Ubuntu from the hard disk?

Is it possible to install Ubuntu from the hard disk?


Solution 1:

Yes. Ubuntu can be installed from hard disk without using any secondary media like CD or USB.

You can read the full tutorial here.

Grub4Dos bootloader is used to boot from the Ubuntu iso on the hard disk.After booting, the isodevice is unmounted by running some commands in the terminal.Then you can install Ubuntu the normal way.

Solution 2:

There is a way for Windows Vista / 7 users. Download the Ubuntu iso file you want to install, and use EasyBCD. Open EasyBCD and click "Add New Entry" from the left side. Then on the bottom, select "ISO Boot" and then find the ISO file you want to boot from. Then give it a name, click "Add Entry," and then Restart. There should be an option (when you boot) to boot from the entry you just made.
