nevermind; I moved the WoW folder to an external HDD and re-installed Ubuntu using the correct drives this time... :)

So as the title says, I was a little bit dumb and installed /home and / on the opposite HDDs:

* /home = 30GB drive
* / = 300GB drive

Of course, I've only figured this out *after* I've...

Thanks for all the help oldfred!

I've actually just gone ahead and re-installed Windows 7. I'd been playing around with Bootrec to no avail.

Now I can at least get into Windows (although I have...

Well I've tried booting into the Recovery to use Bootrec.exe.

When I run /RebuildBcd I get the following


If I run /FixMbr I get

Bizarrely enough, hal.dll DOES exist - I've just found it in the Windows partition...

So I'm completely stumped now >.<

Hi all,

I'm apparently exceedingly intelligent as I've just installed Lucid Lynx over the Windows bootloader!

Now I'm not able to view Windows at all - If I have the Windows 7 disc in the drive...

I'm actually having the same problem - all my media is stored on the external HDD called My Book.

I've added the UUID to fstab, and it's automagically mounting when I boot - yet MediaTomb is still...

Can't remember which version I'm running of ushare (I'm at work at the moment), but everything works for me albeit all videos have to load for AGES before they start playing =/

This is great news - enough to convince me to reactivate my account, if the other half lets me! ;)

Screw it, I've gone back to Windows.
Tried installing FedoraCore 10 to see if that'd work, but apparently that didn't recognise my monitor either, and when I tried the Ubuntu 8.10 LiveCD it would do...

copy-paste, save & reboot and I get the same thing >.<

Before it asks to go into low-graphics mode I get this though:

So what do you mean by this? *lost*

+1 - looks like medibuntu is being annoying for you too! I've just had an major issue with it, and just fixed it myself, looks similar but it didn't stop me updating...

yeah I'm in low graphics mode 'cause that way I can actually read what's on-screen!

Edit: And I've been fiddling with xorg.conf prior to this post in the vain hope I'll be able to fix it. The...

From what I understand, Windows *does* need to be the first partition...

I don't have any backups of my xorg.conf :(
And I can't change the resolution through the GUI either - tells me the monitor is "Unknown" and 640x480 is the best I can choose (or 800x600 if I'm in...

Done! Still no difference =( I either boot and get 640x480 or it has some issue and requires a login to Safe graphics mode where I get 800x600.

This has been annoying me all day and I'm so close...

I just tried your suggestion and now my xorg.conf shows this:

I could kiss you! just updated and there's no error message! =D

Ok, so I'm running Intrepid Ibex x64 and everything has been running beautifully until about 3 days ago. I boot, and I get a wonderful 640x480 screen resolution!
I've done trawling the forums and...

I'm having a similar issue to the OP - I've got an nVidia 8600GT card, and only recently has Ubuntu booted into 640x480, yet the splash screen appears to be normal... I can't resize resolution as the...

This was working perfectly - until the NXE update.. Now I can't access my Ubuntu box from the Xbox. Is there something I need to update?
