I've been trying to help a friend reinstall Windows XP after she decided she wasn't ready for Ubuntu, but when I boot her Lenovo T61p from the Windows XP install disk, it complains that there is no hard drive. But the hard drive is fine, and will still boot Ubuntu.
Hello.
I am trying to install (and did so) Ubuntu 12.04 on an external hard drive which I partitioned accordingly.
Please bare with me, I am very new to open source and have never used uBuntu before and as such may be asking basic questions, which I need to understand before preparing to download uBuntu.

Hello, I am a new ubuntu user. I installed ubuntu OS dual boot with windows 7 for school and my external hard drive which I have connected all the time stops working.
