dual boot - How to move Wubi partition to a whole drive?

I have Sony Vaio laptop with Windows 7 home premium installed by default in it.There was only 1 drive in it,(i.e) the C: drive.It could contain 300 GB of memory.I split the C: drive into another E: drive.That made the laptop have 2 drives with 150 GB storage in each.I decided to put the Ubuntu installation into E: drive.(I mainly did this thing because one of my relatives told that if we keep 2 Operating Softwares in the same drive,it would turn out to be a bit problematic.)Now,I installed Ubuntu 14.04 in the E: drive using wubi.So,it took up only 30 GB of it.Now,I have decided to transfer the wubi partition completely to the E: drive and make it occupy the whole of E: drive without causing any damage to the Windows partition and the C: drive.How can I do this?Any help is greatly appreciated. This is what sudo parted -l shows:
