Thanks for the tip but I got ants in my pants and just installed Ubuntu 
on the same partition and just left Kubuntu there with 7% of the forty 
gig I allocated to the ext3 partition and will just never fire it up 
again.  It should be fine until I learn how to back up all my Windows 
files and photos to the Ubuntu so that I can use 120 gig for Ubuntu and 
not loose everything I'm working on.

Once more, thanks for the tip.
