Hi there.

Just got a laptop for my Dad for Christmas and wanted to setup Ubuntu on it for him. I've installed Ubuntu on loads of machines over the last few years but have found a major issue with this one.

I'm getting an error during first boot informing me that the NX is not enabled in the bios. However as the laptop I have (HP G72) is a cheapy OEM model, the advanced settings are not accessible on the bios (if available at all). Is there a way that I can disable Ubuntu's check for the NX setting? - or have I just wasted £500 (about $650)

Please help. I have to get this laptop in the mail to my Dad in Ireland by no later than Wednesday.
