[members at lugog] Dualboot partition

[Douglas Phillips]

Hi Alan,
Using GParted I deleted one of the partition of the original win 
install, then went back to the ubuntu install which then happily set a 
dual boot with win7 and created /6/ partitions. So all seems to be 
working fine even though I only have a vague idea as to how it came 
about. Next adventure is to set up ssh and copy over files etc from the 
old machine.
Thanks again,
Douglas
