Hi Alphonse, You said you installed wheezy, and a new hdd. I want to ask you if you previously had squeeze? Maybe wheezy isn't behaving as well for your laptop? I'd backup as much as possible and try the same operations with squeeze too. Hope you get your answers soon! Good luck! -- Sent from my Brick (TM)
