thanks ukripper + BDNiner
Problem 2 is now solved... I removed the jumper and used another jumper from another hdd. It is now working. No idea why but if i use the jumper (or should i say the faulty one), problem occurs.

Jumpers connectors may be worn out or connection between metal pins maybe blocked inside (jumpers are suppose to supply connection between HDD pins) - it can happen. Use torch to see inside of the faulty jumper and see if the metal pins are not obstructed by plastic inside.

2nd problem

You should never unplug and replug IDE devices while the computer is on. The is a very good chance that you will damage the hard drive and lose the data.

What error message displays when the computer freezes if any? Are there any system warning beeps? How do you have the devices arranged on your IDE cables?

Agreed....never ever ever unplug IDE devices while you're using on the pc.

Regarding your choppy flash playback, there have been some problems with recent versions of flash/ubuntu. Worth trying on as many flash sites as you can to see if it always happens.

Also, you appear to have a 1Ghz processor, which I would say is right on the edge of coping with flash playback. On the official flashplayer site, a 450Mhz processor is listed for windows, but 800Mhz for linux. I have an old 1Ghz AMD tower, and it struggles to play flash.

yes your right just checked "http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/systemreqs/"
i thought linux will require less resource but yeah this should be the reasoning.
I always thought its my graphics card not installed (i find it too complicated to install)

Nice to hear that you have some of your issues resolved. I attempted to install an ATI card (on board card on my MB) but gave up after a weekend. I took the Nvidia card out of my 2nd computer and bought a replacement for the 2nd machine.
