Two more Ubuntu Posts - #1

Well the dual boot process failed again this morning.  This appears to be a side effect of a system upgrade (per a web search).  So far two solutions were found.  Reinstall Ubuntu and lose all the data (this is what I did last time there was a catastrophic failure of the boot process) or make some small code changes somewhere on the planet.  This should be a red flag to me that Ubuntu is too technical for me.

I have four options:
  1. Go back to Vista - Blue Screens and all
  2. Try to reinstall Vista and hope it finally works
  3. Buy and install a copy Windows 7
  4. Reinstall Ubuntu under the dual boot system and never upgrade
  5. Blow away Vista and install and run Ubuntu by itself and hope for the best
Hopefully just one more Ubuntu Post to come.

BTW I backup my log every time I shut down the PC so no more log data has been lost.
