Any pointers to the simplest way of doing this? I'm getting confused by the acronyms!
Happy to wipe everything if it makes life easier...

Whatever happened to the lovely easy installs I remember from when I last installed Linux a few years back?
This looks serously...

I have a shiny new PC, but I am finding Windows 10 bad to the point of being unusable.

Right now, it only has Win10 as an OS.

I want to get to the point where it has Ubuntu and Win 7. The...

Thanks for the suggestion Robert, Fotoxx is a rather nice prog, and I'm glad I installed it, 16 bit image editing is one of the things that was holding me from moving to a 'linux first'way of...

I'm trying to work with some very large 16 bit grey images in PNG format, and I'm struggling to find something that will handle these images.

Gimp is excellent at very large images, but not 16 bit...

I can see some positive aspects of what it is trying to do - particularly for small screens.

I'm leaving it for now, to give it a fair go, but I'm not very impressed, as I am finding it much...

Thanks for bumping this - The lack of response is very depressing, and I have not booted into Ubuntu in a very long time...

Any anyone offer suggestions for this please?

I'll settle for a way to completely reset the window behaviour back to the defaults - as it is, Ubuntu is close to completely unusable...

So if it is not really a Wubi issue, is there another thread for those of us with this issue, where we can get help?

I hope this is the appropriate place - it is certainly about Wubi and 10.04!

Though not with an install with the latest Wubi, so by all means redirect me if there's a better location.

I tried...

That makes sense to me - thanks for the instant answer, it's very much apprecuated!

I have/had a PC with several hard drives, and a mix of ubuntu and windows on multi boot.

The old boot drive died screaming, and I need to start again. (But my data is safe! yay!)

Is there...

yep, works perfectly!

Thanks.
