New Well, basically I'd like to get it back so all those
error messages go away. I'm also concerned because it looks like I'm going to have to install Windows again, and I want to be able to get it in there and get it to play nice with the other systems on this laptop... the amount of agony I had to go through to get it to behave after the last time I put it on was extreme, and I'd like to make sure I can minimize that to the greatest extent possible.

The main reason I need windows is because I have an M-Audio Fast Track Pro and want to use it to record, but for some reason the audio is completely shitty and fucked up when I try to record under linux, so....

New I feel your pain.
There's a reason why it is recommended that Windows is installed first for a dual-boot install. It is possible in varying degrees for various versions to install Windows afterward, but the incantation changes. Windows prefers to take the whole drive for itself and not bother you with the details, as I'm sure you already know.

Regarding Linux sound, there has been a bit of a kerfluffle recently about Linux sound brought about by some comments from Adobe. Apparantly, there are some circumstances where ALSA audio has horrible latency and terrible audio, whereas OSS v4 is fine and vice versa. http://linux.slashdo...=09/06/19/1937210
