Windows 8 (64-bit) System.I downloaded Ubuntu and every thing going well and started installing it. Ubuntu is successfully installed and rebooted but then I get an error during Ubuntu's boot.The error is:

Starting Windows didn't succeed. The reason may be changing software.
To solve this problem:
1. Insert installation disc of Windows and reboot pc
2. Choose language settings and click Next
3. Use Repair
If you dont own this disk contact with the administrtor.
File: \ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr
State: 0xc000007b

Here i read for many users have the same problem that i have,I think Ubuntu is not working on Windows 8 (64-bit) System

As explained by Thomas and Lion, Wubi cannot be used on Windows 8. But there are alternatives if you just use Ubuntu casually and don't want to create a dual-boot with dedicated partitions on your internal drive (a bit more complex but still pretty easy):

  • Install Ubuntu on an external USB HDD (I always have one ready to use as a rescue system)
  • Install Ubuntu on the same drive, side-by-side with Windows (see this post's answers for the steps to take.
  • Use a virtual machine like VirtualBox. You can find many tutorials explaining how to do this step by step.
