You've got Win7 and Mint left, it's time to let that crappy 13 year old OS go at this point... Also, did you know that you can use VirtualBox and most other popular virtualization tools to directly access the raw partitions of your on-disk Windows installs from your Linux system? As in, you can run your 'real' Windows install as a VM on Linux. I'd do your TomTom updates on the Windows side as well, especially as you have it already available. Trying to make it work on Linux when you've got Win7 there and ready seems like a bit of an exercise in masochism...
