    Hello,
    I got my Aspire One with Linpus, then I had a double boot (Windows XP and Ubuntu) now I'm left alone with XP but now I want Linpus back.

    MY HARD DRIVE : 30 GB (Windows XP) 80 GB (DATA) (not even half used) 6 GB (Free space for some reason :? )

    Does anyone know a safe way of splitting the hard disk ?
    And if I install Linpus now, will I get the GRUB so I can choose which I want to bot (XP or Linpus) ?

    Can anyone help, please ?
    Thanks,
    Gvido

    You should be able to boot the System Rescue CD and use one of the utilities (gparted) to shrink your partitions to free up space to re-install Linpus
