May not be the best answer but check out the below site, it works fine for me under Vista and I don't have to mess with all that booting junk!

I wouldn't do it from within windows. I would boot an Ubuntu live cd and run the program "Gparted" to move and resize partitions.

Bluntly, the thing to do is back up the files you want to put on the secondary hard drive and run Wubi there from scratch. How is it installed on your first dual boot, as Wubi or as two partitions? To unistall it if it's two partitions you can find all kinds of tutorials such as this one:

To uninstall Wubi go to Add/Remove programs.



Anyhow, use the removable media backup to restore the files you want to restore before deleting the partition.
