 No it uninstalls so I should not have half installation. I will burn 9.04
to DVD and see if I can install with wubi, if I can't I'll just create a
partition. What is needed is windows has to see what is in Ubuntu so I will
test a few things. (No I didn't check the checksum, I don't know how yet and
never had any trouble installing Ubuntu on its own partition)

Thanks for the  help
