You have the key to a successful  install of Ubuntu and we agree.  The only difference is

that instead of a live CD, I ran it from a folder in M$ Windows.


M$ Windows & Ubuntu need to be run from their own exclusive partition.  M$ Windows by

default installs in drive C:\ .   Windows tends to make a mess of it's own partition which is

why defrag needs to be run on a regular basis.  Ubuntu needs to be run from it's own partition

to keep M$ Windows from screwing it up.   This is just my observation.


When I first came across Ubuntu "How to", it took me a while to figure it all out.
