I will repeat my previous advice -- forget "restore disc", install from 8.10 instead. It's a more recent version of Ubuntu, should detect all your hardware fine and when 9.04 comes out you will be able to simply let it update. Why is it that you're so reluctant to do this? Surely if it fails you can THEN use the "restore disc" method? But it shouldn't fail... not in my experience...
