</div>That was fast chaps, thanks<br>
<br>
I intend to have Ubuntu only, i.e. not dual booting.<br>
<br>
Leaving the 21 GB restore partition is no hassle, I have difficulty using more than about 5Gb for data, but my understanding is no thinkvantage because of Grub, so no restore from hard drive?<br>

As far as I know it's just a stripped down version of Windows and it's possible that Ubuntu will actually ask you if you want to keep it when it has installed, I seem to remember that with a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge I bought last year. Certainly take a backup though as I'm not sure without looking.</div>
