Hmm. Thanks, Cary. Prob is that the earliest we're likely to get a copy 
of XP is next weekend, and I don't want to leave David without for that 
long.

Still, if it comes to it I can back any Ubuntu files up, repartition and 
reformat the HDD, put XP on and then reinstall Ubuntu.

Another issue that's come up with my PC, though, is that my sound card 
doesn't seem to be working under Ubuntu. 9.04 recognises my Audigy 4 
card; I can see it as an option in the drop-down boxes under System > 
Preferences > Sound. Still, I have no system sounds and pressing the 
"Test" box comes up empty. And yes, the speakers are on and connected.

Any suggestions, folks?

Thanks in advance,

Rob
