i have tried all the hints , i have run disk diagnostics , (the drive is a 80
gig wd ) downloaded wubi with ubuntu 8.04 beta , , have tried to set up a swap
partition, , have set a new copy of xp (which ran very smooth ) did the wubi
thing with it , still had problems ,FAIL TO FIND DISK .. HUMMMM, (ithink it was
looking for a usb device ) , down loaded a new copy of 7.10 , iso file and tried
with iso buster to boot up , failed terriblely , then tried the cd i got in the
mail 7.10 , with the wubi i that came with 7.10 download and i was back to it
see the drive as scsi . so i am going to try the sudo fdisk-1/dev/hd?

now these are the 4ways i am going to try , if i can get in the boot menu (had
a problem using the f6 function to get to the boot window )

1sudo fdisk-1 /dev/hd?

2 "sudo fdisk-1 /dev/hd?"

3 sudo fdisk-1/dev/hd?

4 "sudo fdisk-1/dev/hd?"


not i will be removing any wubi /ubuntu programs from the add/delete menu in
windows , before i put 7.10 cd in the drive

and go from there

if this does not work can some please tell me when the next install fest is
