- It will create 'a new file more' big. Write down the names of files it has generated.
- Once finished reboot with windows and go to the directory where files are located eg. c: \ wubi \ disks
- Then move the old files in a backup folder and rename the new files created with the right name.
- Reboot ubuntu to try and see if 'everything went ok.
