Comment 2 for bug 960832

Since the system worked with the usb for Ubuntu 11.10, I was able to replace conflicting system files with a successful install to the Hard drive . All aspects of this problem have been resolved in regards to Ubuntu operation .
I am still trying to find a way to install windows XP without the use of my cd-rom which is not recognized in Ubuntu 11.10 also I am waiting for the upgrade to be downloaded from a local mirror and automatically install per my settings, This will possibly give me Ubuntu 12.04 and help speed up my system with internet usage and downloads (sometimes I reached 1.1mb for download speed per second) I have never seen that number before.
If anyone gets assigned to this bug report please find some answers to these problems I am having :
Cd/Dvd rw gcc4243n on HPnc8000 not being read or listed in system or side panel(floppy drive is listed and works)
My Wireless adaptor (DWL-G650m from D-Link.com) will not work in Ubuntu, it needs an NDIS wrapper which I have seen mentioned which was working for that user sometime ago. I have a wired connection but want the wireless too.
Updates are still available from Hp driver download site which will only work with windows OS's so I need to find a way to get windows software to work in Ubuntu. I have tried using Wine, Q4wine and Winetricks but only some programs would work, others would load up and quit due to errors which I have associated to no windows OS installed. This is the reason I need to get my CD-Rom working properly.
Any information, instructions or download links would be appreciated for these issues, Thank You Derrick Gray.
