Hello Legimet. It seemed that gNewSense would recognize the drive and allow

operating system I had installed) but Ubuntu would not. I installed another  
hard drive, and the installer worked correctly. For this reason I cannot post  
a screenshot. The window when I got to the partitioning stage was whole, but  
there were no partitions shown.
I must also say, the Show windows and tabs from last time function is  
working. (Currently in Abrowser 28.0. I will update and try 29.0 shortly)
Could all my troubles be caused by a faulty hard drive? It seems to be the
