Migrate Ubuntu to another partition.

[SkulblakaSama]

You probably do not even need to do that.

boot the live CD, format the old Ubuntu partition and / or make any changes to your partitioning you want, and install into the new partition.

I doubt you will need to run any of those grub commands, just stay with the defaults when you install.

Thanks, I also forgot to mention this. Like I said, I wanted to be organized, meaning my Ubuntu partition is installed into the same one as my main Windows 7 partition. Do I merely delete it?

Probably. Hard to know without more detailed information on your partitioning scheme and what you want to accomplish.

My current Ubuntu OS is on the same partition as my Windows 7 OS. I want to delete that Ubuntu OS so that I can install the new Ubuntu OS onto the new partition. But what's stopping is GRUB2, I'm afraid that if I delete the original Ubuntu then I won't be able to boot since the bootloader is gone.

Oh, I see now.

You did a wubi install and now wish to partition your hard drive and install Ubuntu.

By far and away the easiest it to :

1. Delete Ubuntu.

2. Install Ubuntu via a standard install. Grub will automatically be configured as part of the install.

Converting or migrating a wubi install is possible, but it is complex, even for experienced users.

I greatly appreciate your assistance.

I greatly appreciate your assistance.

You are most welcome. Don't worry, it gets much easier as you become familiar with how the OS works.
