      Alright, I've got the terminal open and I've typed in what you said. What should I be looking for now?

      Well, I can't copy/paste because it's on a different computer. And I can't E-mail it to this computer because I need to figure out the WPN to my wireless in order to get that working. Give me 5 minutes.

      right, ok

      Well, you seem to have Ubuntu installed
      (at least you have partitions for it)

      When you boot your machine (without the CD in the drive)
      What happens?

      Is there any mention of Grub?
      Do you get any sort of countdown?

      I don't quite remember. The last time I started it up, however, it said something about needing to check the disk for consistency. If I can find the power/restart button on ubuntu, I can turn it off. Where is it?

      sorry,
      I'm starting to get lost

      What, exactly, happens when you boot your machine without the CD in the drive?

      On a somewhat related note, I did find the network button. I was using the wrong set up to get the wireless running. Soon as I get the key, I can use the internet.

      I'll have to try it again. However, the last time I tried it, I got a black screen with bold white text. It told me the hard disk needed to be checked for consistency problems, and that it was strongly recommended.

      "Checking File System on C:

      the type of the file system is NTFS


      One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You may cancel the disc check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue. Windows will now check the disk." After that, a lot of information and figures about the check. do I need to show those, too?

      no,

      Ok, so it's windows....
      Do the disk check it's insisting on
      Make sure Windows is happy

      After, boot to the LiveCD again
      open up a terminal
      (Applications > Accessories > Terminal)

      Type
      Code:
      grub
      The prompt will change to the grub prompt
      Type
      Code:
      root (hd0,4)
      Then
      Code:
      setup (hd0)
      Then
      Code:
      quit
      Reboot (without the CD)

      Well, I just finished the disk check. It's now loading the normal windows screen, but it's taking a bit longer than normal. I'll let you know after I've done that. I need to be in bed in 30 minutes if I want to not sleep through the whole school day tomorrow, so I may continue tomorrow after school.

      I just realized something. When I start it with the disk in, I had been choosing "try ubuntu without any change to your computer." Should I do what you told me, or should I go down one and choose "Install ubuntu"?

      Also, it won't let me take out the disk while I'm on Ubuntu (probably because it needs it to run) so I have to take it out while it's restarting. Is it OK to do this?

      yes

      The CD tray is locked while booted in a LiveCD
      it should eject the CD after you shutdown

      If I type in root (hd0,4) it says no partition exists.

      If I type in root (hdO,4) it says there's a trouble parsing the numbers.

      Well, I'm going to try that, but I need to get in bed soon. If I have problems, I'll post them here tomorrow. In the meantime, thanks. You've been a great help. The only person I've seen that was able to diagnose that much from code is my dad, and he's worked with software engineering for almost 20 years now.

      As for the cube, install compizconfig-settings-manager
      either in Synaptic, or by typing
      Code:
      sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
      In the settings manager, just enable the cube and cube rotation
      Alright. I got Ubuntu up and running. However, when I typed this in, it said "couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager"
