Your op drive should be a good one(Raptor 10k/74 gig 5 year warranty http://www.wdc.com/en/products/productcatalog.asp#jump1). Your operating system will take the brunt of the abuse, your data drive won't(so it should last longer). Also back up critical stuff on dvd or cd disc or on another drive(usb). That way when something goes wrong, just reinstall your os and software in an hour or so and your good to go. No data lost. Hope everthing works out well for you. pch

Make fresh install without installing 8.04 1st (not sure if you are installing 8.04 then using upgrade option on 1.8?)
Also agree with not importing back any data from FF. Go to sites and drag them to Bookmarks toolbar, get FF to remember passwords after you have entered on sites.
I too have 1 250gb with just operating systems installed. Important files like data, music, videos and photos etc are on other drives. When i mess up now all I lose is time not important data.

For the printer issue try
sudo apt-get install hplip gtklp xpp hpijs python-qt3-doc libqt3-mt-mysql hplip-ppds
Then,
System->administration->printing > printer> add printer and in step 2 select psc 1600 from 'HP (HPLIP)' in the manufacturer drop down menu (as opposed to just 'HP')
Then xsane will tell you it can't find any scanning devices so install a package called libsane-extras from synaptic and try xsane again.
In relation to compiz not working ? Did you install the graphics via Envy ?
Good luck
Return to Ultimate Edition 1.8
