-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Horus,
After all that, I would suspect that when you had windows on the machine, you got a virus that may have physically damaged the hard drive. If I had that issue, I'd try replacing the hard drive and possibly the CDROM as well. Seems to me what you're describing is hardware related. HTH.
