[Discuss] Kubuntu install

[Murray Strome]

I decided to try to install Kubuntu on my primary Windows XP computer.  
I wanted to make sure that I did not mess up the Windows MBR so (using 
AMD 64 Alternate version), when it got to the section where it wanted to 
install GRUB on the MBR, I said, "no" and installed it on a floppy 
instead.  I then thought that if I removed the floppy, it would just 
boot to Windows -- but no chance!!!

I tried to use the Windows XP CD in the Recovery mode, and I was going 
to try to FIXBOOT or FIXMBR, but both gave warnings about the likelihood 
of loosing all my partitions.  Probably, this is because when  
installing Kubuntu, I had it resize my C drive partition and used the 
resulting free space for LINUX.  I can boot to Windows using the floppy.

Second problem: in Kubuntu, when I try to go to the system settings and 
look at the hard drives, it says it cannot do so because "Disks & 
Filesystems module is missing". I tried to find this module (whatever it 
is) using Adept, but since I really don't know what it is called, I 
could not find it.


Third problem: After rebooting several times, I ended up with a screen 
size of 800X600 which I could not increase. I guess my drivers must have 
disappeared.

I would not mind getting rid of Kubuntu for now (install later on a 
different drive), but how can I best do this without having to go 
through a tremendous hassle getting Window to work again on that computer?

Thanks for any help.
