[Hudlug] toshiba laptop

[geoff]

Hi Michael
The 3 hard drives you mention are probably partitions on your single 
drive. Have you added anything to the laptop since buying it and is it a 
Vista cd/dvd you are trying to restore with. Also when you say it won't 
run Ubuntu could you be more specific, is the disc recognised as 
bootable etc.
Regards
Geoff
