Data disc1 recording now. > Well, I completed the system backup, using the Lenovo tool called Create Recovery Media. One boot disc and three data discs. I tested only the boot disc, it worked. Since it took so much time to get the C drive shrunk down to where I wanted it, I didn’t want to do a complete system restore. I have no reason to think it wouldn't work. Now to find a distro to install. I am partial to Lubuntu, but when I booted up the live disc, Lubuntu didn't recognize the wireless device. It has a Broadcom 802.11 a/b/g/n Wifi adapter BCM43228. Is there a software package for this chipset in the repos? Now the search begins. For the one who asked. The hard drive already has three primary partitions. Sda1 is SYSTEM_DRV, sda2 is Windows7_OS, sda3 is Lenovo_Recovery. So, the next one I'll make extended. Sda3 has a drive letter of Q, of all things, and it is at the very end of the drive. If their going to put it at the end, name it Z for crying out loud. Anyway, that's where I'm at. <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> Hi, No Ubuntu distro will recognize the wireless out of the box. I think Puppy will, and possibly even some Ubuntu based distros like mint... however you can search for broadcom wireless drivers in your package manager of choice.... or if you like the fast terminal way: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer will install it. I am not sure if it isn't included because of some sort of copyright issues, or what... But they stopped including it around 10.10 give or take... I really can't remember when. <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Regards</pre> </body> </html>
