I've tried ubuntu for the last 6 days and just cant get on with it.:(
I'm having loads of trouble connecting my peripherals, numerous crashes and issues with running certain programs, so I've decided to be lazy and go back to *******.
Now, because I installed ubuntu fully, I lost my Vista partition and (I am assuming) all of the Vista reinstall...I cant find it anyway. So I'm going back to my old XP disc and work from that instead.
Thing is when I try and install XP from my cd, it cannot find any HDD. Ive repartitioned to give it 10gb to work with but nothing.
Can anyone recommend how I go about this, Ubuntu has hidden my HDD!
Many thanks
PS- I know, Linux is safer easier...blah blah blah but I'm a lazy PC owner and want my OS to do everything without me reprogramming it.
Cheers
