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.
