Installing #Windows is a nightmare

Arrgg

just decided that since I can't get a refund on this, I might as well install XP that came with computer. Horrid idea.

The partition based installer came with a whole pile of shovel-ware. I had to uninstall them. Then, XP overwrote GRUB. Then, somehow, my ubuntu partition disappeared.

Now just repartitioning and reinstalling karmic.

Luckly, my user data was completely backed up in one form or another.
