This doesn't sound like such a crazy default, either way the installer does tell you what it intends to do with partitions and the like before it writes to them. > I realise that I have lost some data but most of it was backed up so > that can be recovered but, how do I reinstall Xubuntu 13.04 so that > it is on the 500GB drive and the two operating systems and their > application in separate partitions? You can re-run the installer and this time, at the partitioning stage, instruct it to do that. More technically involvedly, you could rejig the partitions on the 500G and copy the Linux partition over, then repair Grub. The latter would preserve the current state of the install. -- Avi -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
