ok having problems with my xp install, where im typing from now.
when i boot up, its fine, then the ram seems to be used up but nothing seems to be running, everything gets slow, then explorer crashes, then explorer.exe crashes and its reboot time.
Under ubuntu everything is fine, however ubuntu is a pita to use, as the mouse pad behaves erratically does stuff on its own etc :S
so i wondered if i use the xp cd to format my partition and reinstall xp pro over it ?
but which partition(s) do i need to format :
I installed ubuntu under dual boot after xp which was already on the laptop, so im guessing i need to format c: however what about the other ones. iirc one of them is a small boot partiion for ubuntu, then theres a swap partition, and the main partition, however this doesnt add up in the the screenshot.
cheers!
