Well I went ahead and reinstalled ubuntu 10.10, now when it boots I am getting this: Reboot and Slect proper Boot device or insert Boot media in slected Boot device and press a key_ Well now I have disabled the floppy drive & the CD-Rom drive the boot sequence is only 1 HDD whcih was saved in the setup bios, so why in the world is this happening... I have never had a problem like this before, and it is beating me to death, too many hours spending on it, trying to figure out why it will not boot correctly... Anyone have any idea... Thanks for any help you can offer - - I am using the Live CD to get on the Internet... Larry
