I believe this topic has come up on this list before. I'm not really up to date, but I did a similar upgrade a while ago with minimal problems. As noted at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading there are 2 suggested ways to upgrade - network upgrade - using the "alternate" CD/DVD (text-based installer) You don't explain what you did, but I'm guessing you may have used the regular graphical installer, which IIRC is not recommended for various reasons. One is that the gui partitioning tool screws up in many common situations. FWIW you could create a separate /home partition, but I'm not sure that in this case it addresses your real problem. If you haven't followed one of the recommended upgrade methods, you might want to delete the unwanted partitions and redo the upgrades correctly (perhaps after resizing the partition). Joe
