Brand new machine - 3 weeks old,

so under warranty, my worry is that dell will say Linux screwed up so
warranty is void

hopefully they will just recover the machine, and it will remain at that.

Maybe next time will advise my friend to us the windows boot loader to
install ubuntu. so that way if hings get messed up he still has
wincedows to recover / or to blame

me is very frustrated , upset
