Dear Andrew, Phew! Finally installed Ubuntu after 2 complete whole night sessions - lasting 24 and over 12 hrs each. What an ordeal!! Never found an OS or CD that is slower to install - I havent slept 2 nights! What sort of OS/CD is this? Finally installed it using the command bar at the top with the link marked "Install" under Administration. But now the problem is that it has made a terrible mess of my hard disk- since I attempted installation 5 or 6 times and the installer kept crashing. The free 30 GB I had allotted for it after partitioning with windows has been further subdivided into 8/9+ seperate sub partitions and swaps! How do I now reconcile all the free unutilised disk space that is left in between in different patches/unused partitions/unutilised space/unutilised swaps - almost 20GB and bring it together for use with windows?? how do I tell which spaces are being used by ubuntu and which are not?? Because this is wasting so much precious hard disk space. How do I reconcile all this unused hard disk space and reformat /organise it for windows to use?
Also, how do I get the machine to boot windows first by default rather than ubuntu from the chainloader?? What an ordeal. Thank you. Nilanjan.
