After using wubi, it's taken around 80GB off of an NTFS drive. The drive is now in an external USB enclosure, how do I reclaim the space? Windows XP's partition software, Partition Magic, and even Mount Manager on my laptop running Leeenux all see the drive as being smaller than it started out, the partitions created by wubi are invisible to them.

Wubi is just a large file on Windows. Did you allocated 80GB to wubi? I only use it for answering questions and didn't even know you could make it that large. It can only take as much space as you allocated it during the install.

I would imagine that by using the Add/Remove app in Control Panel to remove wubi you will get the space back in Windows.
