I was having Ubuntu 11.10 , the upgrade to 12.04 caused problems , so
I decided to reinstall,
the original was installed using Wubi I do not have an extra partition
to install in a separate one
so that I could use Unetbootin and 12.04 ISO so I decided to go the
Wubi way however when ever
I double click wubi I get error and it says previous install needs to
be uninstalled I click next but I get
lots of errors I have pasted the errors here

How to install 12.04 using Wubi when already 11.10 is existing and
that too was installed using 11.10 I want to remove 11.10.
The upgrades by all known methods do-release-upgrade after final
finish gave me a black screen.
I do not have spare Windows partition to be able to give it to Ubuntu
so I am preferring Wubi if there is any other way let me know.
