Kubuntu for Windows users - alternate install

[O. Sinclair]

Morning (here at least),

I would recommend you use the Alternate CD for install if you need/want 
to repartition. The LiveCD I have always encountered problems with when 
it loads the partitioner but never with the Alternate CD.

As for Scan/check disk in XP; Open My Computer, right-click on the disk 
in question. Choose "Properties" and under the tab "Tools" you  find 
"Check now". You will have to reboot to get it done.

Defrag; run the Defrag several times after each other as it takes about 
3 times before XP "gets it right".

Good luck,
Sinclair
