Title:
Ubuntu 11.10 wubi installation error - ERROR root: 'WindowsBackend'
object has no attribute 'cd_path'
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I'm using a ASUS 1215B netbook, with AMD64 proccesor, installed with Windows 7.
I would like to install Ubuntu 11.10.241 using Wubi installator. As my netbook has not internal CD, and the BIOS doesn't allow me to boot from anything else that the hard disk, I've tried to use the help provided by Wubi in order to be able to boot from an external USB CD reader, to install Ubuntu in an isolated partition.
Wubi ends with an error message: i copy the last lines from the .log file (before them, all seems OK):

Any idea? It is impossible to do this because the BIOS doesn't seem to
allow any external boot device? ...?
Thanks a lot for any help.
