    ok, so it installed. i can boot to ubuntu through GRUB if i start computer w/ the portable HD connected, but GRUB won't let me boot into windows.

    now, i have another really big problem.

    i can't remember/find the wep key for my family's fios wireless network. is there some way for me to look it up on my windows login? since that one automatically applies the password every time i try connecting to the network

    I have used this software before and it will do the trick, good luck.

    Glad to hear you got it working. I didn't think it should cause you any trouble.

    only 2 issues so far

    1) GRUB can't boot windows, but i can just restart w/out external plugged in
    2) Windows no longer recognises the portable as being formatted at all

    not yet. at work atm

    one of the it guys at work suggested i either look in this really obscure .dll on my system32 folder (wzcdlg.dll) for the automatically entered encryption key (because when i go to connect in windows, it doesn't ask for the key. it just supplies it.)
    and also if that don't work to look into resetting password for the router

    UPDATE!! first post on linux!!

    edit: ok, to fix an issue w/ windows and the storage space on the portable, i formatted it two days ago (5 1/2 fucking hours) and reinstalled today. used liveCD version of Gparted to make the partitions i needed in correct order (storage NTFS first) and reinstalled to the pre-made partitions. only problem: i installed the bootloader to the "do not use partition"...so GRUB doesn't even load properly.
