Okay, so if I get this right, you got an error message saying that the install did not complete, from within windows? that's pretty normal -- windows seems to fail to detect a complete setup for almost all the installers I use.

The first problem you mention is that you can't seem to get network access - I assume you are able to get into ubuntu to verfiy this, so it would seem your install was OK, and some post-configuration is required.

What we need to do is to determine your network hardware, and how you are connecting to the network.

Can you boot to ubuntu, open a terminal using ctrl+alt+t, then copy and paste these commands (use a USB stick to transfer a text file around) into the terminal. Once done, use the USB stick to transfer it back to a computer that has functioning network access.

uname -a
lsb_release -a
lspci
sudo lsmod
sudo /sbin/ifconfig -a
sudo /sbin/route -n
sudo lshw -C network

Once you do this, we will know more about your system, and then can provide you with better instructions on how to get the network up and running. When your network is functioning properly, we can download and install the nvidia drivers.

Note that the commands will require you to enter in your password. The password will be accepted, but there will be no response from the terminal until you press enter. Don't forget to press enter after the last command.

Can you help with this problem?
