I honnestly can't say BUT you should be able to get at least your sound card
working and have a crack at the ntfs problems.  the upgrade from potato->
woody will take a while so you're encoraged to get the UCC as close to 19:30
as is possible.  Obviously we can't really look at your other problms 'till
after the upgrade.

Yours Tony
