But I do suspect that my 40G IDE/PATA drive coupled with a mass storage SATA with an IDE config on the both could be to blame. Yes, I have a Franken-POS; I cannot afford nifty new upgrades often. And yes, my hard drive configuration is weird-- I should have pure IDE or have just SATAs in a RAID setup. But y'know, I'm working with what I've got and what I can genuinely afford. Is that preventing me from upgrading my Mint/Ubuntu installations? Why yes it is. But I'm OK for now.
