I have a spare PC that I have been using to install various Linux Distros to try out. It also has a legal copy of WIN XP installed. My wifes PC (running XP)has finally expired with a WORM despite running Antivirus updated everynight, Zone Alarm, Adaware & SpyBot. So she has agreed if I leave XP on my spare machine for her "just in case" she will allow me to install either Suse10.1 or Kubuntu. I also intend to install Crossover Office to make it as painless as possible for her to move away from XP It appears there are the following Partitions:(checked in Kubuntu) Partition Size Mt Point Type Dev 1 17.6Gb hda1(assume this is XP) 2 1Kb hda2 3 6.3Gb / ext3 hda3 enabled (assume Kubuntu) 4 996.2Mb hda5 5 12.1Gb hda6(suspect Suse10) 6 313.7Mb none hda7enabled (suspect Kubuntu Swap) I have made some assumptions on what each partition is but really may be wildly astray. I have no idea what hda2 on partition 2 is. My wife is a contractor and frequently works in companies that have software that will only run under XP- or will only allow MS products to connect to their network she has to have XP available .. This is a legal OEM copy but I have no CD to use for a reinstall. Problem...How do I uninstall existing Kubuntu and Suse 10 so that I can do a fresh install BUT LEAVE XP INTACT!!!! This is a MAJOR advance in convincing her to try Linux so I need help. Alan
