    Status: Open => Answered

Tom proposed the following answer:
If you can get hold of an external drive to copy any files that you
definitely don't want to lose onto the external drive just in case
anything goes horribly wrong.  Of course you might be able to copy those
precious files onto dvd/cd instead.

Yes, that's not looking right at all.  I don't know why but i also
notice that fdisk showed some very muddled up numbers for where
partitions started and ended.  Is it possible to reduce the number of
"drives" you have in Windows?  Perhaps copy data off a couple of them
onto the remaining ones and then delete the empty partitions?  Also
inside Windows can you find "Add.Remove Programs" and see how many times
Ubuntu is installed?  I think it might be a good idea to uninstall all
of them.  Also it might be good to defrag your partitions from inside
Windows and also run "Check disk" on each of them.
