Hi everyone,

I'm brand new to this forum. So if this question was already asked, I apologize.

The reason I'm writing is because I need to install a new hard drive on my Vaio PCG-K33 laptop. The reason is because my existing hard drive has many many bad blocks on it. Therefore, I am unable to use any external devices with it.

I already bought a new Toshiba 120 GB hard drive. My data has already been saved online. And I would like to partition the new drive, and install the Ubuntu OS. I would take it to someplace in Manhattan. But I've called several places, but I didn't get a good feeling from the people answering the phone.

So can you guys recommend a good online tutorial for doing this?

Thank you very much.
