This is what is happening:
http://picasaweb.google.com/quartzsite.gen/UbuntuProblems#
No I'm not 64 bit. I have run chkdsk hoping that will do a clean
shutdown. Yes I got the same result with the liveCD & wubi, but it looks
like the liveCD just launches Wubi when you install from windows.
I do run norton goback and it kicks in before I get the option to boot
in Unbutu, I don't know if that might cause some problems. I also have a
dead DVD burner in my computer & either a dead wireless card or
corrupted driver. I don't know if that could be the problem.
Thanks everyone!!!
