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.
