Connect you laptop with a wired connection and use Synaptic to install the package firmware-b43-lpphy-installer. This package will automatically download and install the needed firmware.

i have figured alot about linux out by now
heres where im stuck i wanted to wipe my computer clean so i wiped the partitions execpt my windows 7 i was using grub now i cant get into windows error:no such partition. grub rescue> what do i do??? help |
Put in your Windows CD (or USB), boot from it and go to the recovery console.
Once there launch the command Code:
bootrec.exe /fixmbr |
i had this issue once before and some key hits at the bios got me to a repair console and from there to command prompt
i have a netbook so no usb/cd |
I would wonder if there is a netbook without USB, but anyways, it could help to look into the manual for that machine, or look it up at the manufacturers website.
|
what i meant was i have no recovery usb to work from lol sorry
every netbook has usb what if i try and reinstall ubuntu would that mke windows bootable also from the same window that would have ubuntu |
|
thanx for all your help
really appreciatted |
ok so i was wondering if you knew how i cld get rid of grub and use windows boot loader to load my OS's
|
Sorry, the only way I know is using a bootable Windows install medium.
