Someone suggested me to reformat my “whole” HDD. It’s a pain, but I’ll do that (need to back up GBs of data). But if this won’t fix the problem, have to look for other distro that won’t give me this headache, or I’m stuck with windows again..

Just for info, I was “turned down” by the linux community (chatroom and forums) for the second time now. First was my problem with shutdown, and now this.

I was planning to completely shift to Linux, but if I can’t boot it, how can I use it? I’m now having some second thoughts about it.

(I like Linux, that’s why I want it to be fixed. I just hate it when people says Linux is the “best” OS and then you can see a lot of UNSOLVED problems in the “community forum”.)

I am currently downloading Xubuntu 8.04, Which is basically the same with Ubuntu, but only differs primarily with the Window Manager and some other softwares. It is lighter (in terms of graphics) than Ubuntu (which uses Gnome, Xubuntu uses Xfce).

Cheers…
