Welcome to the LXDE forum. When I read your post I was not sure if you are aware of the fact that Microsoft Windows XP will die early next year and that a WUBI install is not necessarily intended for a lengthy install. It is generally used to try something out (Ubuntu/Lubuntu etc.) within Windows. If you are sure you want a Linux OS on your computer then I believe that a dual boot is a better option. Of course that is only my opinion and everyone has one of those.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaringRingtail/ReleaseNotes.

WUBI is no longer supported, it was dropped in 13.04. The last version of WUBI was released as part of 12.10.

Thanks for the input. I have not read that before. I do not use WUBI but I am aware that others use it or have used it.
