I've been testing WUbi on various hardware setups, and the latest test, on a custom-build machine with 1 SATA drive and 1 IDE drive has had problems. The disk with the largest free space is a partition on the IDE drive, however at boot this disk cannot be found.
Copying the wubi folder to the SATA drive fails with a 'cannot copy file: make sure the disk' etc error.
To resolve this error, and copy the .img files to another drive/folder, do the following:
Load a Windows command prompt
Navigate to the Wubi folder
Navigate to the disks folde
Type the following commands:
cacls root.img /P Everyone:R
cacls home.img /P Everyone:R
cacls swap.img /P Everyone:R
You will now be able to copy those files to the new folder/HDD. You might want to restore the permissions on the copied files:
Navigate to the folder you copied the files to.
Type these commands:
cacls root.img /P Everyone:N
cacls home.img /P Everyone:N
cacls swap.img /P Everyone:N
