Komusta ka,

You have only installed (or upgraded) Ubuntu once. Those entries that you refer to allow you to boot into the recovery mode of the same installation.

Upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy is a fine way to make the transition. No need to reinstall unless you feel you have messed up stuff so much that it would just be easier for you to do so.

Your main problem is sound, right?

What sort of computer are you using? Did sound work in Gutsy?

type in the terminal alsamixer
adjust the volume with arrow keys. Just push all the graph to 100 %. Set channel to maximum, for me it is 8. By the way which sound card do u have. have u find the drivers for ur soundcard from above tutorial. If no I suggest to install all drivers. I am sure u will get back ur sounds. Reply
