Well, Ubuntu notified me of the new 10.04 upgrade. Sooo.. I upgraded.
After the upgrade, Firefox would not work. It would open and then crash when navigation ensued.
The "bricking" happened, when I "updated" 10.04. It updated everything. When I went to reboot, I got nothing but errors and the OS would never load.
I've tried various live linux CD's to wipe the drive, repartition, etc. But I can't get anything to install. It's maddening!
Luckily, I was able to back up all my data to an external hard drive, before everything went kaboom.
I even went back to ntfs and tried to reinstall my original windows disk. I only get the blue screen of death... lol. go figure.
I'm writing this on a gentoo live CD right now. Only thing that will load and let me get to my internet.
I wish I knew what went wrong. I really liked using Ubuntu.
But.... my new computer will come with Win 7. I've heard decent things about it, so thought I'd give it a go.
