I am installing Ubuntu every half year for more than three years now. This is the first time I don't succeed to install Ubuntu properly.

Today I tried a clean install of Ubuntu 11.10.
The first time failed. After installing it returned with some kind of checking. At last it was checking battery life for ever.
However I could connect to wifi.
The second installation succeed to some extend. I get de Ubuntu desktop. However during the second installation no wifi connection was possible. Also I believe I have no sound. I did not hear it when Ubuntu started. Because I can't go online I also tried to play a cd. It was not recognized. It still listed the DVD that was in the drive before.

Any suggestions what I should do?
Also: why is the wifi connection not functioning while this was the case during the first installation.
