HELP: Dropping to a shell! after copy Wubi installation onto another PC
Sorted out!
I found out that you can use LABEL instead of UUID in the configuration file.
So, in windows, I set a Label to that hard disk, and then altered the configuration file accordingly.

You will need to edit the file /etc/fstab and change the 'UUID=XXX' lines
to show the correct uuids. *You can find the UUIDs of your system by using
'sudo blkid'.
