It spent me 2 days to update my M510C. = =+ Few days ago it had Ubuntu 7.10 updated 8.04 and Windows XP SP2 NCKU version. Yes, a dual OS laptop. On 4/23, the latest Ubuntu 9.04 released. I installed it in my HP dv3007 in my room on Monday. Since not being so busy on projects, I though I could update my working computer. So there it came. On Tuesday I checked and made some backups. Hmmm? Where was the Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop CD? It was in my room. = = So, tomorrow~ Wednesday, I brought the CD and put it into the CD-ROM. Error reading boot CD = = What problem now? After testing 2 CD(8.10 and 9.04), I gave up to install from CD. I think the CD-ROM may be malfunction... Let's try online updates! After online updates to 8.10, the old driver could not work well. It ran in only Ubuntu low-graphic mode. The original 7.10 version had no good support on ATI graphic cards. I installed another open source driver fglrx. At that time I thought it may be okay to continue and I kept on updating to 9.04. However, after rebooting to finish updating, I couldn't even see the login menu. Master Google told me some possible solutions. Some said you have to remove fglrx. But I can't login now QQ. I've tried to login with the recovery mode, too. Finally I decided to use the last method on the list. Redo from start! In other words, 砍掉重練! Since I have driver problem, CD-ROM problem, I need to install by some other method. My computer had dual OS and I can use this advantage. First I fixed the MBR to boot from Windows XP only. I found the MbrFix program to overwrite the GRUB. Later I delete the Ubuntu partition and formatted as NTFS drive. I used Norton Partition Magic to merge the ext3 partition and swap space. Finally I used wubi to install Ubuntu inside Windows. Thanks for those who wrote the detail instructions for all of us. I can use Ubuntu and Windows now, again. Although it is not a native OS, it is fine. Although I can not use the new ext4 partition, it is good now. What's the next time I update my system? Maybe 9.10 I think. :p Now I have to put my previous work back~ Hope no further problems!
