   My God! so did I also, when I changed from Windows to Ubuntu.   
   Maybe, there is something wrong in Ubuntu?

   Hmm... after reflexion, let us dream loud:   
   -----   
   Ubuntu Install has detected a legacy operating system:   
   - reboot to the legacy operating system, I don't want to change anything on    
   that computer   
   - keep it with dual-boot   
   - wipe it completely and lose all data   
   - back-it up to tape, CD or DVD, then wipe it   
   - takeover and convert your user data, then wipe it   
   - takeover and convert your user data, then fake it for a while...   
   -----   
      
   -)   
      
   Really, is that an impossible challenge?
