Hi Stevef :045:
"scattered SSD recollect": I am not bothered for any data loss (all exists on a NAS).
I was calling it scattered sine I see several partitions and honestly I lost track of which was what.
You are right I am planning on putting XP back the one or the other way to run some test and ancient software.
Recently I read that LL is available in ver 5.0 for 32 bit, maybe this is wise to go for?
Otherwise "recollect" I would want to join the "scattered" partitions back into 2 (~1x 100G NTFS for XP and the remaining 3xx G for Linux).
I understood that using GPARTED (how to ??, pls advise some read pages) will probably help to prepare the SSD for the install
I am mainly asking because I want to get the sequence right??:
1) Run GPARTED
2) Install XP
3) Install Linux
or is this wrong ??
as said I am a Compute Grandpa and not among the fastest anymore
best regards
Gunter
