Thanks to all for all the suggestions. After wasting several days trying<br>
figure out M$ convoluted maze, I finally found a free utility called<br>
partition wizard that installed and instantly fixed the problem.<br>

It is incomprehensible and unconscionable that M$ is so determined to make<br>
everything so impossibly convoluted and difficult. Viva Linux.<br>

I completely agree. My step daughter moved in for a few weeks and I got<br>
to play with her Win7 netbook. After two days of wrestling with the way<br>
M$ wanted you to do things, I said thanks but no thanks, and that was<br>
with her showing me how and me reading a big manual she had with her.<br>

God how I love my Debian and it's not a matter of what I'm used to!<br>

I can sympathize. Last January I bought a computer that came with windows 7. I tried it for about a month and was thoroughly disgusted with how difficult everything was in windows 7. M$ made it so ******* difficult to network two computers together. In xp it was a simple task. Also some games I have don't run right on 7. I ended up getting rid of 7 and putting xp on the machine. Then in November I got tired of xp, removed it and replaced it with kubuntu and I'm happy with it.<br>

You say you run Debian. How does Debian differ from ubuntu/kubuntu?<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
