Hey there,

Is there a way to break wubi out of its box?

As in, resizing /dev/sdX and moving the current partition data onto there? Or would I have to do a fresh-install, and then copy over the post install data?

The reason I'm asking is because, The desktop Wubi is currently running on, has migrated into a router(has some epic umph), and its reached its 30GB limit, and I also have the hard drive space to support it now.

System Specs:
AMD Phenom II 1090T @ 3.7Ghz(6 cores)
16GB DDR3 1600Mhz
2x AMD Radeon HD 6850s.
+2 NICs forgot brand :/

Off Topic but slightly relevant: Nic 1 = Server Switch, Nic 2 = Non-Server Switch. Onboard NIC: Modem.

You can move A Wubi installation to a partition or back up your data and try a dual boot .
