Ubuntu 12.04 no sound

Google has a stack of NTFS5 boot error reports from Ubuntu. Looks like many are reported solved on the Ubuntu forums: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ntfs5+no+wubildr

Tinto, hi.
I got a CD from my daughter and it ran fine, but ! There is always a but ! I have two HDs on this old machine, a 200 G and a 40 G. I elected to install U'u on the small one and it went through the whole process and here is the BUT, it will not run. It offers the MBR boot options and if I select and Enter on the second one, Ubuntu, it dies there. If I select the first one, XP, it runs fine. I deleted it all again.
Now, it is installing on whatever it wants, I let it select what it offered first. Time will tell. JP.

For those who are having issues with Ubuntu 12.04/12/10 & Mint Cinnamon, I use & highly recommend Linux Mint 13/14 Mate version. Up to Mate 13 (built upon Ubuntu 12.04) runs on older XP machines that with Ubuntu 12.04 & up requires PAE to install. Mate 13 (5 year LTS) runs like a charm on two 10 year old computers, a T42 Thinkpad & Dimension 2400.

Linux Mint Mate 14 (which requires PAE) runs like a charm on my desktop that also runs Windows 7 & 8 Pro, & I was able to install it w/o messing up my Windows bootloaders. I removed the DVD drive, replaced it with an adapter usually used for SSD's, it contained a 160GB WD Scorpio Blue that I had laying around. Removed the main drive, via a USB adapter for slimline DVD/CD drives, installed Mint 14 Mate in a matter of minutes. Once installed, I rebooted & updated, then replaced the HDD containing Windows, at startup I press the ESC key to access which drive I want.

Normally the install process picks up the hardware, however sometimes it takes a reinstall to get it right. Even with VM's.
