Does your machine match these parameters:
Quote:
- NVIDIA USB Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) chipset. - At least 4Gb of RAM.
If not, the bugfix you're trying to install is not relevant. Assuming that you've checked this, what sort of errors are you getting while installing the patch?
Does your USB hard drive work properly on a different machine? It shouldn't crash Windows in any case, but it's worth excluding an external cause.
And how can you be unsuccessful running Ubuntu?? I found it easier to install than any OS I have ever tried.

I have no idea.... I mean, it's still installed, but i can't run it... I get the option when I boot up my computer, but it just takes to this DOS like screen and seems to want me to type in a command... but I have no idea what to do once I get there

Can you run it successfully from a 'live' CD/USB drive?

what version of ubuntu did you install? You might want to uninstall, download the newest version, install, take a shower, and report back

I know... I've had a beef with windows after the 3.1 and simple DOS days passed... then I was lost
part of the reason for that, is because this is like the first computer worth it's salt I've owned since then 
I remember when Pentium 5's to me were like cuz i only had a 386 
but yeah... I'm gonna try and figure this shit out tomorrow though, because I just went to work unexpectedly after no sleep for over 24 hours, got drunk on the way home... and I'm still drinkin... I'm not fuckin around with this computer till I wake up this morning

yea idk it's just out of the 3 windows PCs i've owned and countless others that i've worked with not a single one of them could run very long without locking up for no apparent reason even with 0 hardware problems and 0 malware to be found.
i haven't sworn off windows forever though cause they are great computers for many things and are generally the easiest to go about replacing old hardware. i did just get my first macbook though and all i can say is i'm currently in love with this OS altogether.
sorry i don't really have much advice on your problem, i still haven't even got to checkout windows 7. i just felt like chiming in on how windows will randomly fuck up solely because it's windows

I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 and Ubuntu will just not work on it. Some hardware just will NOT work with linux. It was my ATI grapics card that gave me the problem.

I run a copied version of windows 7, use an external drive, but have never had this issue.
I wish I could help. Everything I would think to try has already been mentioned, so I wish you luck. Report back if and what you did to fix it.
