I'm quite happy to (actually I would like to) kill off the Debian installation, but need to keep Windows. If I do a standard Ubuntu install will I get problems? If I need to do something special to avoid any problems, what should I do? Thanks in advance.

Yeah. Can you (or anyone else) recommend something that will do that. Not individual operating systems, I have recent backups, but perhaps of something that will do the entire HD? Then if the worst happens, I can just restore the whole disc to its current state.
