My son accidentally deleted 12.04 from his hard drive, creating a boot error which has now been fixed:

There remains the swap file on the drive, but I believe it can be deleted and re-formatted.
However, he has installed a 2nd 500Gb hard drive.
It occurred to me that we could install an Ubuntu version on the 2nd drive, leaving win7 on the first.
This would put ubuntu on the new drive in order to spread the risk, in case of drive failure.
Where are we on current thinking for an O/s suitable for an i3 2120 with 8Gb ram?
Are there any issues to watch out for doing a 2nd hard drive installation?
