First of all, I am an absolute beginner in world of Ubuntu. I have no idea about command terminal, etc. But I am good at Windows.
My problems begin with the setup itself.
1) I have three partitions on my hard disk. All NTFS. One contains the Windows 7 and other contains the Recovery data. Third partition is a 99mb partition which contains some BIOS data therefore it is of no use. I fear that repartitioning the partition with recovery data (and also my other data) will not allow me to use the option again. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 inside windows from the Live CD therefore.
2) When I boot into Ubuntu, it does not detect or show the second partition(with recovery data) at all as if it doesn't exist. I therefore cannot access the data.
3) I have been unable to connect via WiFi. It seems that the drivers for my WiFi adapter are absent. I cannot connect to the internet in any other way.
4) Ubuntu runs in the lowest graphic mode despite the fact that my laptop has a switchable graphics option (Intel Media Accelerator HD and the ATI Radeon 5650 1Gb).
Intel i3 370M @ 2.4Ghz
3Gb DDR3 RAM
Ati Radeon 5650
Atheros Wifi with bluetooth
500gb HDD
I guess that is more than enough to run any OS.
Expecting a quick response. I really want to use Ubuntu with all the capabilities.
