I don't understand. Do you want help or do you want people getting annoyed with your posts?

Run the bootscript in my signature and post the text from the generated file. Post in code tags by clicking on the # icon in the reply window this will generate [ code] [ /code] put the text between.

+1 0n post 5 those are great threads.

Did you download it and run it per the instructions? It should generate a results.txt and tell you where it saved it. Usually where you ran it from.

Open results.txt, copy & paste it in a message, highlight the entire results.txt and click on the # or code tags in the top edit panel of the message, to put it into code tags so it saves formatting, so we can read it easily.

Use a live cd or loaded thumb of the ubuntu ISO to boot Ubuntu.
