   After the horrendous time I was having trying to do the upgrade, I am   
   now in the process of attempting a fresh install from a USB flash drive.   
     Ubuntu worked fine with the laptop in "try" mode, but now trying to   
   actually install it and it's stuck at "detecting file systems....."   
   Been that way for nearly an hour.  Any ideas welcome.  I swear I'm not   
   going to get this done in time for work tomorrow.  I should have been   
   long past this point by now.  Sheesh.
