I tried installing Kubuntu 8.04 back into my wife's computer and I got
the same busybox shell :(.

There is probably something wrong going between the USB stack
and the USB key. Whether this is a hardware or software problem
is unclear...

If I go out and buy a external CD drive that
uses USB, would that work just like a regular CD? I mean, can I just
select that CD on the boot devices and then boot from it?

I think it depends only on the BIOS of the laptop.

Friendly,
