I've been using wubi for about a week, and I am already running out of space. (I allocated 5 GB for wubi, and only 1.5 GB was left after installation =P)
Therefore, I decided to use LVPM to upgrade wubi to a standard Ubuntu system.
My laptop has 2 hard disks. My D drive is empty, and I used Partition Manager to completely delete it. There is suppose to be 60GB in my D drive. I then set up a new ext3 partition with 51.27 GB, and a linux-swap partition with 3.86 GB.
What I can see from partition manager is as follow:
/dev/sda/1 nfts WinRE 1GB
/dev/sda/2 nfts 55.68GB
/dev/sda/3 ext3 51.27GB
/dev/sda/4 linux-swap 3.86GB
So, I then booted onto wubi, and used LVPM. I selected transfer to /dev/sda/3.
After the transferring is done, I reboot and see the following:
Ubuntu-on-/dev/sda3
Other operating systems:
Unknown OS
Window Vista (loader)
Window Vista (loader)
When I clicked enter while highlighting Ubuntu-on-/dev/sda3, nothing happened.
When I clicked enter while highlighting Unknown OS, I get back to my old boot up screen where I can choose between vista and ubuntu. After booting to ubuntu, I just got back to my old wubi installation.
The Window Vista (loader) options bring me to Window vista recovery mode.
Can anyone provide help, please?
