I cannot believe the lack of attention that this bug is getting. I would try to fix it, but I'm still a noob. I used several different fixes, and my HD either overheats or the load cycle doesn't slow down. I think that if no progress in made by release 8.04, I'm either going to search for another distro or maybe go back to Windows, although I shudder at the thought.
I don't need my laptop ruined over a lack of effort by software developers. I just spent all my money on getting one with Ubuntu pre- installed from Dell.
