You can not run an install on win 8 through wubi. you have to do a lot of maneuvering to get it to work and unless you have the technical skill i would not recommend it. I don't believe running the live disk will work either even if it where a usb.

We have all had to overcome the initial challenge of installing a second OS from Windows and entering the discovery phase of Linux for which Ubuntu is a good choice.

You could either utilize a VM from within Windows or dual-boot Ubuntu

  1. for the VM approach start here

  2. a brief overview for a dual-boot installation follows:

    1. backup data files from your Windows installation
    2. understand BIOS boot settings, start here
    3. download the latest Ubuntu .iso file
    4. create a BOOT DVD from Windows (use imgBurn)
    5. shutdown your machine
    6. install Ubuntu in dual boot mode, allowing Ubuntu to resize your partition
