Re: [libreoffice-users] Canon USA Printer Support are using LibreOffice?

I have the other way around.

During an upgrade for Ubuntu, the computer crashed and messes up GRUB.  
So now I have a 1TB drive with access to only 1/4 of it. The problem is 
the DVD cannot be set as a boot option.  BIOS has a weird way to set 
devices to be bootable.  My other laptop's BIOS is easier.  Of course 
its DVD boot commands will not work with the new ASUS's BIOS.  So with 
this problem I cannot run the repair disk, since it requires to be 
booted via the CD/DVD drive.

The laptop had been able to boot to from the DVD, which was the way I 
added Ubuntu in the first place.

If I cannot find the correct BIOS commands - or maybe the GRUB commands 
- to boot the repair disk, I would remove the hard drive and repair the 
drive via another Ubuntu laptop.  The only problem with that, I would 
loose my 4 year warranty.
