    "It's so simple that it doesn't need a thread. I ordered my Mini9 with Ubuntu. After playing around with multibooting for a few weeks, I screwed something up so I restored it to factory default with the Ubuntu restore DVD that came with the system. It was an out-of-the-box experience. This restore DVD restores your whole computer to the factory settings. If you are multibooting with OSX, XP, and Ubuntu and for some reason you need to restore Ubuntu, the restore DVD will wipe out all parititions on your SSD and rereate the Dell Utility and Ubuntu partitions."

    The above info comes from this link:

    Here's a Dell Support web site for more details. Enter the service tag number
    From your machine where indicated, and then proceed to either customer serivce
    Of FAQS. I hope this helps. Let me know. By the way, if your computer is
    No longer under warranty, customer service isn't free.
