Hi, Beartooth.  Do some googling for OpenStreetMap, JOSM, and GPSBabel.  Maybe 
you won't need XP for much longer.

I can't answer that, but I know what you mean about the anxiety.  I always run 
df -h and note my partitions from there.  If you have unmounted partitions 
that must be included, try mounting them as /mnt/tmp1, /mnt/tmp2 etc., so that 
you can identify them.

Remember that 'fdisk -l' will list your partitions and the type, so you can 
easily see whether you have accounted for all of them.
