I booted the compuer using the LiveCD..
His original PC was a single-disk XP setup. He added another 250Gb drive, with 
multiple partitions, some NTFS, some FAT. I picked the smallest ( empty ) 
partition he had to add linux to.
To be honest, I'm not sure what was where on either drive, but I think most of 
XP was on the original, and he had data files on the 2nd drive..
My problem with the kubuntu install was it doesn't have a good way to 
repartition drives, it looks to me to be much easier when you select ALL, or 
let it partition everything automagically.
