how to confirm what's causing the prob is a total mystery to me. It would be
one thing for the new version to be a problem, but its confusing the hell
out of me as to why I can't just reinstall the 10.04 from a disk.......

<p>Yes, I also thought that might be the case, so to rule that out, I set t=
he BIOS to use the second drive (the offending PC has a DVD RW and separate=
CD ROM drive). We get the same result from both (and the same symptoms).</=

<p>Hence its too much of a coincidence for both drives to go south at the s=
ame time. Plus when we get it (the PC) running with the installed version, =
the drives both seem to work fine, as they do when its booted into Windows =
(she dual boots Ubuntu and Windows XP pro).</p>
<p>From what I managed to find, this could be some sort of kernel issue, bu=
