Chabgung? :confused: :p

A bit tricky, but not impossible.

You could :
1. Boot from a Live CD.
2. Mount your install partition(s).
3. Back up everything into a tar archive ( Preserve permissions! ).
4. Format install partition with a different filesystem ( ext3? ).
5. Restore from tar archive.

Some loooong guide below, some of which I don't agree with, but a good starting point :

Hmmm, maybe easier to just reinstall huh, thought you could just convert it like you can in windows & I am still trying to figure out why Ubuntu 10.04 is randomly freezing. That is why I thought of this, someone siad it might be EXT4 in Ubuntu.
 
Someone from the Ubuntu forums I emailed my message & xorg.0 log files to said this error
wlan0: IPv6 duplicate address fe80::213:f7ff:fee5:83e0 detected! said it means it might be my wireless card it is a SMC EZConnect g. Any way I can get the exact model in linux. So I can see if SMC has a linux driver?

Heh ok :D You've not taken in a word of what I've said have you :p you'll be able to check the hardware on your system with lspci, lsusb, dmesg, Ubuntu might even have a hardware listy thing in one of the menus. GL Ed!

:D I have everything, but the part number, that is a bit of a pain to see, SMC has linux drivers. :) Would be nice if others did the unified driver thing like Nvidia.
