Hello guys!

it was a long time ago when i used ubuntu (last time was maybe when 6.04 came out >p) and recently i've decided to give it a try again so i installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS with wubi but that gave me only 30gb and now when i fell in love with it i want more space is there any way to do that....
any help would be greatly appreciated :D

30 GB hard disk space is the upper limit for Wubi; you'd need to create one or more partitions for Ubuntu if you want something larger.

Although it's possible to go higher I wouldn't recommend it. With Wubi all your data is stored in a single file, and if it gets corrupted you could lose everything. This doesn't happen to everyone, but it happens enough that I think Wubi should come with a warning (https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/1078959).

In any case, you can review these:
