Kubuntu creates extra partition?

[googeek]

So, I recently had to surrender and install windows back onto my machine for work. I tried using virtualbox so I didn't have to dual boot but found my usb ports were non functioning. Tried a few fixes found online(No avail) and ended up deciding to go ahead a dual boot.


Installed windows, all was well, installed kubuntu, ran updates, all was well. The next morning, on my boot menu I have FOUR kubuntus. One generic and one "safemode"(can't remember what it's called) and then another copy of each.
I know the two are supposed to be there....the other two, uh, wtf?

What is this? Is this normal?
Should I try to reinstall? Or should I just use gparted and delete the other partition?


Thanks for any help in advance.

Re: Kubuntu creates extra partition?

this is normall....and it is not new partition's

what it IS ....is that during the updates you got a new kernel .....and you now have it as a choice to boot.

IF theirs no probs with the new kernel you may remove the older one with your package manager along with it's headers and modules.

I keep 3 of them just encase something goes strange with 1 I have 2 backups.....(the kernel and it's modules are the base of your system that all else is built on)
