Well now I am downloading this InfraRecorder that I learned about on the Ubuntu site. Thing is...my wife burns CD's all the time. Will this InfraRecorder interfere with her cd burning?
Nope... Will install separately... No worries!
Okay now that I have downloaded this Ubuntu and InfraRecorder, how do I find them on my computer? This is driving me nuts!
Where did you download them to? If you have vista it will be in your C:\USERS\>\Downloads folder...
I've got XP. Do you think it will be the same?
No it's not the same... By default it should download on your desktop or try your my-documents\my downloads folder...
If you are using Fire-Fox you can click Tools, Download to show you a list of what you downloaded recently... Then you can find out where it put the stuff
I don't even know what Fire Fox is.
I cain't find the stuff I downloaded. I feel my blood pressure is getting a bit high right now. I might have to go take a walk! How come this computer stuff is so easy for everybody but me!
I grew up with computers, took Computer Engineering in school and have a very technical/logical mindset from my dad who is a mechanic. I was sorta put in this are with a gift if you will...
No worries bud, take a step back and I'm sure you will find it...

Do you have Internet Explorer 7? (Tabbed browsing?)
Bud, I'm going to bed... It's 12:44 where I am and I can't keep my eyes open. I will help you tomorrow if you still need. Good Night.
I think I have that one. Is there a way of seeing my recent downloads with IE?
Oh good night then! At least some of us can sleep!
Well now tha I've been up all night procuring the cd. How to run it? Just throw it in and let it do it's thang? Aye I think I'm fallin' out here...GOod Nite zzzzzzzzz
So I slept well...
Put the cd in and shut down your computer to the OFF state. Then turn it back on and push the F-12 key repeatedly until it gives you the "Boot" menu. Choose the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM from the list and it will boot the CD you burnt.
Then once it comes up try using a USB device within Linux. If it works then it's a windows problem, if it doesn't then their is a hardware problem...

Okay I somehow managed to boot the cd. It asked me a few questions. I chose option one which was to sample Ubuntu without actually installing it. I could open the FireFox brower but could not go anywhere. Do I need to install Ubunutu? Is it difficult to remove? And I will add I could not print, but I think Ubuntu in demo mode is the reason. Any ideas?
You chose the correct boot option. Did the ports work when you were running Ubuntu or were they still non-functional?
You don't need to install it. The reason you couldn't print is probably because the printer wasn't set up.

I had a problem with windows xp not installing drivers for USB flash drives. I had to "unhide" inf folder in C:\windows. I selected that folder to install drivers for the USB drive to work from the C:\windows\inf folder.
what did the device manager say what was wrong with the usb ports?
