Dear Z-Series Team,

I am a new Ubuntu user who has very little experience using and type of
linux or unix systems. I had, with much delight, accomplished a dual
boot install of Ubuntu 9.1.0 and Windows 7 the other day and everything
was working perfectly fine. However, I decided to activate the
proprietary Nvidia drivers that were available in the drivers menu and
my system subsequently no longer operates. After installing and
rebooting Ubuntu will no longer work and becomes stuck on a black screen
with two white dashes in the top right had of the screen. This hang up
occurs directly after the first white Ubuntu logo appears during the
startup and the only key that will work during this screen are Crtl +
Alt + F1, which only bring up a second black screen except with a solid
white dash in the top right screen. At that point no key will work.

I have tried to fix things in recovery mode and used envyng to remove
the nvidia drivers as well as other operations, however the same result
still appears when I try and run Ubuntu.
I own a Sony Vaio Z690C if it makes any difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time
