OK i can do that I have an extra disk to play with so its all good learning. I appreciate everyone input to this.

actually the above command will zero out the whole usb you then need to use cfdisk or preferably Gparted to recreate a partition table and then reformat it To just delete the MBR it is Code: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/xxx bs=446 count=1 bs=446 => removes MBR bs=512 => removes the partition table please refer here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...78#post3508978

Right! Thanks to help from all you nice people, some of Ubuntu's own support on their forums and IRC, I have now turned the Swap partition into a separate one, and I think there's some progress. Since I don't want to cross post - there's a thread in the Distributions forum (Not the subforums, since there's no Slax one) that has the next problem I've been having, with Grub. I don't know if any of you can help...

It would be fun indeed, and it IS a pretty decent machine for $130.00, despite it's limitations & 'weirdness' as a potential laptop.
