Hi,
I would like to move ubuntu from (C:/)[OS] to (D:/) and I also want to ask if this work? And if I wanted to move(maybe re-install), I wonder if there are 32-bit ubuntu?
Thanks in advance! :P

Do you have wubi inside windows, or ubuntu? Windows calls C and D only ntfs partitions and ubuntu doesn't install on ntfs so you probably have wubi.
I don't use wubi so I can't help much with moving it to another partition.

The OS is the same but the way it's installed is not. Wubi is like virtual ubuntu inside windows.
That is not a proper dual boot where ubuntu is on it's own partition.

If you have found you like Ubuntu then it may be time to do a full partitioned dual boot.
From the developer of wubi:
http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/
Agostino: Wubi actually wasn’t designed to do long-term installations. The main aim was really to let people try out Ubuntu with confidence. Normally, users that start with Wubi tend to upgrade to a full installation to a dedicated partition at the next release cycle.
