Yeah, that's a painful experience.
Formerly, geeks would setup Ubuntu on their grandma's computer, and they
would have gone through an autodidactic school on non-destructive
partitioning before that.
Today, everybody is being invited to dualboot, and i don't know if that is
such a good thing, if the software is only safe when used by someone with a
drivers license
