In the process of…

Currently in the process of doing this:

“Recovering Ubuntu”:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows

for my brother-in-law. Not because anything went wrong, per se — it’s just that we installed Ubuntu on a drive that was too small for our liking (12GiB) and needed to “move” the entire installation to a bigger disk (20GiB).

Yeah, lazy, eh? Anybody else would just wipe everything and reinstall, but I used the handy-dandy “PartedMagic Boot CD”:http://partedmagic.com/ to just “move” the entire installation of Ubuntu onto the bigger drive.

It’s all worked out fine except that now I’m having to reconstruct the boot sector by hand, which isn’t too hard, _if_ I knew completely what I was doing!
