gold_finger,
I guess I should have come back to read your post before installing. I just changed the boot mode to legacy and went ahead with the install. I choose erase and reinstall LL. Everything went OK. To be honest I'm not up to speed with what you mentioned in the last post. As of now everything looks OK. Would be so kind to let me know if I made a critical error and what the fix would be. I'm experimenting with the laptop, so don't mind reinstalling and the like. But surely I want LL as my main OS. I'm learning linux at my own pace.
On completely different topics I had a few questions:
1) How may I see the percentage on the battery icon (right side of panel)?
2) I cannot get the window tiling option to work in settings. I had gone to window manager (Settings->Window Manager->Advanced) and turned on Window snapping feature to no avail. Also I just have 1 workspace enabled. I don't like multiple workspaces.
3) This might sound like a weird question, however, since I changed to legacy and installed LL, I note that the hard disk access noise is prominent and happens a lot. This I did not notice with xubuntu or windows 8. The kind of sound you here in older PCs when accessing the hard drive. Everything works well, fast and efficient, but can't help but notice this
