What does error code:0141 mean when I start my laptop?

I own a Dell Inspiron E1505, every now and then it doesnt start up normally. It shows a new screen, showing:

error code 0141
msg:error code 2000-0141
msg:no drive detected

My warranty is expired. Is this something I can take care of myself. It doesnt happen all the time, but It does concern me. Help!

What is the best way to install Linux Ubuntu?

I am looking to install Linux on my laptop (Dell Inspiron E1705). During installation I was asked if I wanted to install it under Windows or as a stand alone. I have partitioned my hard drive so the installation as a standalone is no problem, but this is my first time attempting to work with Linux. .

Are there any other issues I might have to face, and if so what is the best way to deal with them???

Thanks in advance.

What linux distros work with broadcom 43xx cards out of the box?

I have a dell inspiron 1501, and the only thing I’ve tried that works with the wifi card is sabayon, I’ve tried countless fixes, and none seem to work. So I was wondering if there are any linux distros that will work out of the box, and more specifically, if the dell ubuntu iso will work?
