Ok, so I backed up all my Wubi-files + the boot.ini etc. I reinstalled my Windows OS, then put my Wubi-files on a new partition D: . Put the wubildr.mdr file + wubildr in the C: dir. Changed the boot.ini to C:\wubildr.mdr = "Ubuntu" . But when I select Ubuntu in the boot manager I get an error message (Couldn't load Windows, ntoskrnl corrupt - or something).

What do I do wrong? Can't I just install a new Wubi using the installer and then replace the disk-file by the old one?

You can reinstall the same version of wubi and replace just the .disk files.

However if you changed the partition that wubi was installed on you'll also have to do a manual edit of the grub entry the first time.

E.g. if they were on /dev/sda2 and they're now on /dev/sda3
then press 'e' on first entry,
change instances of (hd0,2) to (hd0,3) and /dev/sda2 to /dev/sda3 and then CTRL+X to boot.
Run "sudo update-grub" after booting to fix.

Thanks. That works.
