Comment 33 for bug 252900

Hi, to answer your questions:

1) It can't be done from the wubi image, since it's located on the partition you would be converting. You can use either windows commands (I gave some on a previous post) or from another linux system, like the live cd.

1a&b) It's a limitation of the fat32 file system, so it can't be fixed from wubi. Still, it would be a good idea to check file systems on install and either add a message or a workaround.

2) If you convert the filesystem to ntfs, it won't have any more problems. But I'm not sure if your wubi install will still boot or you will have to reinstall. I ended up just removing windows and making a native install on my system, so it never came up. I'd recomend you backup anything important on the related partitions. It's just better to play safe (even if I STILL end up forgetting and losing a couple partitions at least once every year or so :P)

Hope you can solve your problems.
