I'll boot that machine in DR DOS then and see if I can get rid of just 
the Kubuntu, leaving the WinXP for now and since I have the KDE desk top 
and the printer is there on both desk tops I'll just do the same there.  
I.m not going to cause a non recoverable GRUB error and lose the WinXP 
before I'm ready, am I.
