Hi David, You appear to have gotten a lot of info already.

(!) This appears to be the biggest issue from your post. You do the partitioning yourself and have the installer put ubuntu on the open space - it should detect the other partitions. I'll leave you to answer Liam's response and follow George's general advice. In addition though, in case its useful, here is a good tutorial on using gparted: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html Hopefully this helps. j
