Too many things have happened since my last post.

I spent a night in Port Moody, and another in Brooklyn. I worried about my computer, after my MBR was damaged as a result of booting to my rootkitted Windows, but this is solved now (don't boot Windows ever again!). Today, after some interpersonal stress, junk food, taxiing, and sweat, I have finally managed to move in, and claimed a cubicle in my office.

Now I need to test my wireless Internet, get a photo ID, check in with International Office folks, and submit the final version of my UBC thesis.

UPDATE:
* at the office, wireless Internet works, I didn't even need to use the ID. Wired Internet works too.
* at home, only wired Internet is working.

* submit work orders about flickering lights, clogged bathtub.

Why don't you just copy whatever you can with Kubuntu and wipe Windows entirely?

I already used Ubuntu to read the NTFS partition, and most of my important files are in an external HD anyway.

Would you wipe out Windows by deleting its partition(s)?

[raflacerda.livejournal.com]

I assume your bootloader (likely grub2) runs from the Ubuntu partition. Then yes, deleting Windows' partition(s) is enough. Run update-grub afterwards to refresh your boot menu.

Did you try restoring Windows from your notebook's recovery disk, or is that infected too?
