    For future reference, you could still do as I suggested.  Use FDISK in Windows, cfdisk in Linux, or the partition manager of your favourite Linux installation.  It will only touch the drives you tell it to touch.  But Mark is right.  Give Kubuntu all of the second drive and it will love you forever.

    Have you considered Xubuntu?  Should be slicker/faster than Ubuntu/Kubuntu default installs.
    What about FIPS?

    I am referring to my second physical disk. It is currently partitioned 20/40. How is it... uh... not clean?

    I was saying whenever i merged /resized partitions after an OS install it wasn't real clean...all that dirty work should be well thought out beforehand and completed before that HDD even sees a setup screen.
    There are programs that swear they can do it but i have not been convinced in 20 years.
