Hi, Sorry for the late reply, I don't have net access at home.. The problem just got worse.. Now Ubuntu does not even boot and gives all kinds of IO errors when booting.. So I cannot even try out your suggestion (as I can't even reach a terminal).. Could it be some harddisk failure? I sure hope not, I just bought the laptop a few months back :( ..
