Oh well I guess I'll download 6.06 LTS and see if that works.

The reason I'm doing this is because windows is now bluescreening so fast I can't even see what the error message is before it restarts. I have OSX on it but I can't access my SATA drive which I need to back up.

BTW It's an AMD X2 3800+ on an ASUS mobo (just replaced it, Abit one burnt out) with 2GB of ram. 2 IDE HDDs and 1 SATA. 1 DVDRW and 1 CDRW. It was running 2 6800GS's in SLi but I took one of them out when I tried to install Ubuntu since I figured there was no SLi support built in. I was trying to installl the AMD 64bit version of Ubuntu.

If anybody sees any problem with this or have any advice could you please give me a heads up. I am definitely new at troubleshooting Linux.

Thanks
Did you try the command line install? 6.06 is rock solid! But I am loving 7.04...
