> To help friends with modem problems with Ubuntu 8.10, I installed from the
> distribution CD (Live CD capable) onto an USB disk on key, on a Windows XP
> machine.
> I went through manual partitioning of the USB disk.
> I paid very great attention to each step.
> I saw the message saying that partitions marked for formatting would be
> erased (all of them were on the USB disk on key). I double checked that the
> process would not involve anything with my independent hard disk.
>
> The bad surprise came when GRUB worked without the usual pause, installing
> itself on the hard disk without notice and incidentally wiping off its
> partition.
>
> The Windows disk is lost.

> Beware of CRAP and do not say that you have not been warned.

> I will not start a thread with that.
