I currently dual boot ( theoretically - I can't remember last time I booted into windows).

Question is is there a way of virtualising my current win 7 install so I can run in virtual box (or...

I'm using Kubuntu 10.10 and I'm pretty sure I opted for an encrypted /home is there a easy way to check it is in fact encrypted.

I expect theres a question hidden in there somewhere?

Sorry if it sounds harsh, but having 100GB of 'important' files that wasn't backed up was going to sting you one day anyhow. Yes Ubuntu is reliable, but disks and users aren't often! Vista stung me...
