What is a DISK file?

DISK files mostly belong to Wubi by Wubi Developers. A DISK file is a loopmounted hard disk image on which Wubi installs Ubuntu-based Linux distributions such as Kubuntu, Xubuntu, UbuntuStudio, and Edubuntu. Wubi is a Windows application used to install Ubuntu from within Windows. Instead of creating a separate partition for Ubuntu, Wubi creates a virtual hard disk (\ubuntu\disks\root.disk) which is added to the boot menu. This is done to prevent data loss (due to partitioning errors). An operating system installed in such a DISK file is not a virtual machine. Wubi adds such operating systems to Windows boot menu.

How to open DISK files

You need a suitable software like Wubi to open a DISK file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your DISK file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a DISK file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
