Finished Wubi installer and then?

Post by mintuser »

Hello,

I wanted to install Linux Mint 13 64Bit on my Windows 7 64Bit system.

So I downloaded the iso, mounted it and launched mint4win.exe. The wubi installer started, I set all the options accordingly and started the installation.

After it finished I rebooted and expected to find the same procedure than on Ubuntu 12.04 in the sense that it automatically finishes the installation.

However, with Linux Mint I end up with the desktop, having an icon on it "Install Linux Mint".

Do I still have to do it or is Mint already correctly installed?

When I opened the "Install Linux Mint" I was a bit confused to see the partition manager. See the image attached.

Which partition to choose for the filesystem and for the bootloader?

Can't this be automatised by the installer?

After clicking on Install Linux Mint, you have to select /dev/Loop2 to install to.

I just went through this myself.
