I've found that the LiveDVD doesn't give a full picture but is a start.  If it 
works with that then you're laughing. However, if it doesn't work with the 
LiveDVD you could still find it works perfectly fine with a normal HDD 
install.  The Live image is a bit restricted on the hardware it can support.

Beg, borrow or scrounge a spare HDD and install onto that to see how it goes.  
If it's rubbish, just put your old HDD back in
