Yes, this was one of my issues and solved.

No, for Windows 7 i am not using any VM. I wanted to install Kubuntu
alongside with Windows 7, but like Cody said:

>>It will if you install it directly to your HDD and choose " Install alongside windows 7" Kubuntu handles that >>nicely, but what you're describing suggests errors in the partitions, I'd suggest running disk check just in case.

I ran chkdsk utility under Windows 7 and will try again. If everything
is OK, I will post back.

My third question is (actually I posted this on kubuntu-users irc
channel) changing brightness using Fn F2 and F3 and/or Power
Management gadget in system tray. I used the LiveUSB and everything
except for brightness change did not work. I checked this thread
http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?60349-cannot-control-screen-brightness-with-kubuntu-12-10-beta-2
, but it did not solve my problem.

I am using Samsung NP300V5A,
