I've managed to get a virus on XP and fiddle too much with ubuntu and mess that as well... also have a half-installed kubuntu on there... somewhere.

Been having fun learning but think it's time to wipe and start again got everything I need to wipe then reinstall xp and ubuntu (this time giving a larger partition to ubuntu while I'm at it).

Only thing is backing up the 60GB of stuff I want to keep, any ideas ? Atm my only real option is using 8GB flash drive to transfer to dad's laptop in about 7 transfers there and back... anyone got a better idea ?
