Bcbc, still here messing with window partitions...
After the fix you kindly suggested it worked out, but I still have 40GB of unallocated space left. Now I want to partition that free space BUT,...

Ok, I've done it again. Everything ok :) Thank you.
I was wondering... now it's installed in sda3, what happens If I format sda3 from primary to extended, creating also logical partitions? Will it...

Ok so I'll repeat the procedure you posted here

I've resized the restored root.disk with lvpm. Now it works again without grub... should I still have to reinstall it?

So it's better to let lvpm do all itself... Well the space is available so it's no problem, I think I'm gonna choose 12GB...
But after this resize I'll do again that sudo apt-get install grub-pc?

Ok, but since the problem of the size is still there, I'd need to resize the wubi partition with lvpm... Would it mess everything up again?

Hey it worked thank you!!!
Now I have to do also sudo nano /etc/fstab ? why? where, in terminal or when?

So I go straight with that command that autoremoves lvpm?
If prompted any device I just press ok or what?

When I do sudo apt-get install grub-pc I get this, and not an empty line:

Shall I click yes??

Ok, so I'm gonna try this solution, but just to be clear the only root.disk that I have now is the old 6GB one, I overwrote the one created with the new installation with the old backup one,and this...

Ok, but I already know that I still need a larger root.disk, there are only 236mb left... So I'll need to resize it for sure... Can I still do it?

Ok I'll try this... but don't you think that trying to resize again that root.disk with lvpm would fix this mess?

I clicked on lvpm 2 times, once on transfer and it gave me all the partitions, and another time to resize and it prompted for the new size. Both times I didn't click ok and I didn't proceed.

Oh, I...

Thank you bcbc for your effort.
1) installed ubuntu 10.04 with wubi directly since the first time on C
2) used for some time and got all the upgrades
3) needed to move it, still in virtual disk,...

Well I installed wubi on c (sda3), I got all the upgrade of modules, packages and kernel. After all these upgrades the space wasn't enough so I wanted to resize the partition, but I could not create...

me too

I know that, but in that partition I didn't have even the space to resize the root.disk... I attached the result.txt

Sorry, I posted there forgetting this thread, so I posted here...
Well I did what you said, and actually I could boot into old root.disk, I also did a grub update, but rebooting again in ubuntu it...

I'm confused as well :)
Well I don't see any menu.lst, I searched windows but there is no such file...

Since the partition of windows7 (C: ) where wubi was installed was too small, I decided to reinstall wubi into another larger partition (E: ), keeping the old root.disk. Sadly when I replaced the...

Thank you man, but can you tell me pro and contra to use grub loader to boot w7 or ubuntu instead the windows one?

But how can the old wubi bootloader point to new migrated partition? Does this script edit the wubi loader?

Ok, then I have to create manually logical partition inside extended sda4? Before to run the script?

And about the bootloader if I set option - no bootloader I'll still have wobi bootloader?

1) the swap partition has to be primary as well? If so I still need another one primary partition free (is it adviceable to create a swap partition in linux?)

2) If I got it right the unknown...
