Hi

I have installed Ubuntu in Wubi on my D drive, it works find and I changed some settings and installed some applications in it.

I'm wondering that could I move Ubuntu from Wubi to a real partition?

I know how to deal partitions and file system formats, just want to know if I can move the OS to a real partition, it will take me a lot of time to reinstall Ubuntu. My laptop is Lenovo X201i, it took me several days to let Ubuntu display correctly.

Cheers

Apparently - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How%20do%20I%20migrate%20to%20a%20real%2 0partition,%20and/or%20get%20rid%20of%20Windows%20entirely?

Never done it myself so can't vouch for it.
