To start I still had an external enclosurer for a 1.8" disk to USB. I removed the HDD from the laptop and put it in the encloser. After this I formatted the entire disk. I do not want to have Dual boot, just linux. After that I followed the guide on http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/23/install-ubuntu-11-04-on-external-hard-disk/ . Quite easy. The only thing I did do was manually disconnected my second HDD aka the slave. For the rest just follow the instructions on the link above. Boot from the life CD, format the disk properly and install it on the disk. Restart the computer and put the HDD back in the laptop. <br /><br />Linux is running fine, a bit slow for my taste though. Might be my hardware? I have 512mb memory. I might try an older version of Ubuntu.<br /><br />Any other performance details from people?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304209457373492381.post-5845252156163611932012-02-05T23:36:01.288-07:002012-02-05T23:36:01.288-07:00Thanks for the interesting post.

Even the battery LED does not light up (so it seems to be a lower than OS level of problem). I returned the battery and got another one, but I'm still having the same problem.
