There is no data on it that I need. I need to be able to install and use 
a program on it. If I cannot get it to boot by itself and finish 
installing SP 1, I will put the Ubuntu drives back in and boot that way. 
That probably means I won't be able to install SP 1. The way things have 
been going lately it's likely the program will not install without SP1. 
Of course I don't know that for sure but I am going to keep it as my 
last option.

Thanks, Jim
