[Ubuntu-BD] Ubuntu 8.10 DVD Problem

[tanjir]

Little googling gave me this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How%20do%20I%20access%20the%20Windows%20drives?
(hint: cd/dvds are removable drives)
I have no idea about wubi. Does it install ubuntu as standalone OS or is it virtual machine-like environment? Virtual machine softwares may have issues with these drivers. In that case i would recommend you to use vmware or virtualbox.
Happy computing.
