Things are not going well for me!I took your advise and downloaded two programs.
InfraRecorder and Ubuntu 10.04. Downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 to my desktop and from
there burned it to a 700MB CD using InfraRecorder.

One the first installation to the CD it malfunctioned about 22% into the burn.
Started a second time and this worked.

I then put the CD into the player and rebooted. During the Ubuntu Installation I
received this Error Message:

INSTALLATION FAILED!
"The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be
run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again."

This error message came on the second reboot also.

Allowing the desktop session to come up I then tried to install it using the
Install Ubuntu Icon on the desktop. Everything proceeded till I came to the
PREPARE DISK SPACE WINDOW and this is what I saw.

WindowsXP Pro /dev/sda1 203.9GB
Ubuntu 9.04 /dev/sda7 41.7GB
Ubuntu 9.04 /dev/sda5 2.5GB

and on the bottom graph ,,,,

WindowsXP Pro /dev/sda1 110.3GB
Ubuntu 10.04LTS 93.6GB
Ubuntu 9.04 /dev/sda7 41.7GB
SWAP /dev/sda8 1.8GB
Ubuntu 9.04 /dev/sda5 2.56GB

At this stage I quit the installation to send this email to see what i should do
with all these OS on my hard drive!

First of all the second installation of Ubuntu 9.04 came from the error message
last night telling me the installation failed so I rebooted and installed it
again.

Secondly, should the newer version of Ubuntu 10.04 overwrite 9.04? Obviously
not! So where do I go from here?
I have the installer not installing it from the cd but having to wait to install
it when the Ubuntu 10.04 boots from the cd, and what do I do about the two
versions of 9.04 on the drive and the installation of 10.04?

Problems already I Ubuntu is not even installed! HA.

Thanks again for EVERYONE'S help and feedback.
