There are no worried-looking geeks in those pictures. I should know, it's me. We happened to have been chatting about some of the new Compiz features at that very moment, while the guy sitting on the computer was ordering pizza for the installfest. And what does "cable-salad" at an installfest (have a better idea for the speakers, monitors and external drives?) have to do with how well Ubuntu runs?
first of all: The Ubuntu forums have been consulted already, and have been of little help. Nevermind the fact that this is a free, unmoderated medium, and you're no one to judge where I can and cannot ask a question. It's arrogance like this from Linux dorks that turns the rest of us off.secondly: Buying a new adapter should not be the solution to poor hardware support. Read your own post and contemplate its stupidity.
Acqua206:If you're that new to Linux in general and Ubuntu in particular, your problem with boot errors may be a problem with the boot manager GRUB. One of the first things I had to learn when working with Ubuntu and Kubuntu is how to edit the file that tells GRUB how to work. Keep in mind that to edit that file and save your changes, you need to be operating with superuser privileges .

Yes, but only live ones. Dead badger support should be in Hardy.

The problem you had has o due with the Master Boot Record. This page ( <a class="user" href="http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p18.htm#STEP_ONE">http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p18.htm ...</a> ) explains, in detail, the problem and how to remedy it. It's a bit technical, but it will show you what to do.

I was including the time needed to do a google search to find the instructions.
