Hi all! Just a quick message to let you know that I successfully reformatted my root partition and installed 9.04. So far it seems to have recognised my home folders without any trouble. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!
As for my friend Dave's PC, it looks as though his XP installation has finally given up the ghost. It was already riddled with quite a few viruses, including Koobface; I've backed his vital data up to an external hard drive and am planning to reformat his internal HDD and install Ubuntu Studio 9.04. One question, though: We've discussed him buying a legit version of XP Home so he can still run Windows apps and play games like Diablo. Would there be any issues with installing XP after Ubuntu instead of before?
