Comment 7 for bug 178483

Thank you for your enquiry.

Yes, I have installed the latest Ubuntu release. No, I haven't had a
recurrence of this issue myself. I have learnt my lesson.

I reported an installer issue so it was not likely to recur once I
actually managed to install your distribution.

I accept Colin Watson's assurance that the Debian installer does not
rewrite the W2K boot.ini file. I would be very surprised if it did.
However, I gave sufficient evidence that the Debian installer did
something to cause something else to do so. An occurrence that was a
mere annoyance to myself but something that could put a Newbie off Linux
for life. Not worth your trouble fixing. Your loss, not mine. I won't
bother you again.

I do not repartition disks any more - I simply create a new virtual
machine with a new virtual disk. When the LTS runs out on Hardy I'll
have to replace it but I've plenty of time to find alternative.
