I was thinking about my ubu troubles this morning and remembered the big stopper. Ubuntu requires me to set up a share partition (I don't remember doing this when I set up Kubuntu). So I booted with gparted and tried to do that, but it will not let me create more than three partitions (I already have one for Vista, one for XP, and one for Kubuntu which is also a storage partition). So, the only solution is to delete one of these partitions or else reformat and set up extended partitions, or some such. This is why I tried to load it through windows.

The solution was made easy for me though as I got a nasty virus overnight somehow and it will not even let me boot into XP. When it logs me in, it immediately logs me out (even in safe mode). So, I think I'm going to spend the day backing up files using Kubuntu and then just reformat the drive and load everything back on. I'm not going to install Vista though.

Fun!
