I also (because I forgot I had it) have ubuntu on a stick... thinking maybe go in that way, and do the necessary?
I've put everything onto one usb stick so I don't have to fiddle and faff around with too many usb sticks...
I would've gone yesterday but for feeling ill, so, I'm calling over today.
Much sweariness might ensue, but thankfully, my friend has two gorgeous little black & white kittens...
