	Well you need some advice. Your approach stinks! It appears you have no
idea what your daughter has.

	First, your computer you say came from Wal Mart and it was cheap. I
bought a Compac Presario CQ50 with Vista Basic installed for $298.00
plus tax from Wal Mart. Compac was bought by HP so my laptop has both names.

	With some trouble I now have Vista and Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 all running
fine controlled by grub.

	So please try to load 9.04 again and then let us know what problems
your having IN DETAIL!
