Does System Restore on Windows affect an Ubuntu installation via Wubi?

I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed via WUBI within Windows. If I run a System restore, will it remove my Ubuntu installation?

It may affect the registry settings, but I don't think system restore deletes files. – None – 2009-11-18T21:09:09.540

It is quite likely it will attempt to restore boot.ini -- along with the line that lets you boot Wubi.

That's to name one thing that might go wrong.

1Depends on the Windows version. Remember that more recent versions have a different boot loader. – Joey – 2009-11-19T00:14:43.190

1I actually went through with the System Restore. And my Ubuntu installation remains in tact. So I guess that problem's solved. – Adnan – 2009-11-19T12:37:04.123
