For those just joining us, here is a workaround I posted a while back: "One possible solution would be to convert the vfat volume to ntfs. This can be done if the volume in question is NOT a system or otherwise un-dismountable volume. The command to do this, under windows xp, is:
convert x: /FS:NTFS /NoSecurity where x is the drive letter of the volume." One important addition is that the partition/volume should be as defragmented as possible, or the performance of the new filesystem will be terrible. A free utility that seems to work better than the internal defragmenter is Defraggler from Piriform (http://www.defraggler.com/). If there is too much data on that volume and defragmenting would be too slow, check under the action menu for an advanced option to just defragment the free space (even allowing fragmentation). -- vfat : wubi 8.04.1-rev506 kernel upgrade fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252900 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
