Re: failed to install grub
Well i got it working. I used the install disk and installed gparted. deleted the two partitions I was using for HH and started over. The windows recovery partition is at the end of the disk. That is why it is labeled sda2. I can't get around that unless I move the partition or delete it. Anyhow, I repartitioned the free space as: sda1 6gib /, sda3 1gib /boot, sda4 remaining space /home. Upgraded to kde 4.1.2 and installed kde 3.5.10. Only problem now is wireless. The hardware drivers manager says support in enabled for the wireless card but WICD shows no wireless networks available. I started a new thread for this under network support. Thanks everyone for the replies. All very helpful.
