The above information was not exactly accurate. Since I don't know exactly what is going let me post some more information on each of the ubuntus I have. Hopefully someone can then tell me how to get to a single 7.10 ubuntu (hopefully with my 6.10 ubuntu home directory). Upon closer inspection I to have 5 ubuntus listed at start up. The first is 7.10. The rest all seem to be identical and my initial 6.10 version. ============== First ubuntu 7.10. =================== Does NOT include my original home directory data ************************ rocky@tilly:~$ ls *************************** Desktop diffout Documents Examples Music nautilus-debug-log.txt Pictures Public Templates Videos ************************ $ sudo parted /dev/hda print ************************ Error: Could not stat device /dev/hda - No such file or directory.
