Linux Installation on HP 6710b

HP Laptops dont work with Linux...

I should have known that...

I spent big money on buying this one... 6710b... loads of my savings went into it.. and now it doesnt run Ubuntu/Fedora...

Tried looking at ubuntu forums... and found nothing that works.
Tried a few things, suggestions from some people, that claim it worked for them, but, somehow it didnt work out.

When Vista booted for the first time after my "not so successful attempt", it wiped out the MBR and then the Grub boot menu was gone.

Here are some links I tried...

  2. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...P+Compaq+6710b

But... nothing moved on..

I am now planning to go through the whole things once again... may be I missed something.. but would sure post stuff here...

cheers
raghav..
