Hi Alan,
many thanks, now can access Xubuntu, don't know what happened when I 
installed
Xubuntu, partitioning tool would not let me go past until I resized the 
18 gig partition, and somehow installed onto the small partition created 
by the re-size. Have tried both live gparted and installed
gparted, and cannot get it to add the large partition to either Ubuntu 
or Xubuntu, but can access it so no problems. Still learning :-) but as 
I am the only Linux user in town, am among the elite in town, The only 
one here to have seen the light:-)
Thanks again
Winton
