Good morning Rob


I think the hook you are talking about is grub - it is the first thing 
that appears after the computer's own splash screen (if any). This will 
be changed automatically when you install your new OS.


Don't worry about re-formating the PClos partition. As Roger said, the 
installer will sort that too. Just be careful not to take the 'use full 
disk' option. You could follow install xubuntu alongside your existing 
systems if you wish - this might feel less complicated.
