I installed ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS on external hard disk. My main hardware is: computer Acer Aspire 4530 pre installed with windows vista home basic. Graphic card by nvidia GEForce 9100M G. After installation and also installation of updates mandated by update manager booting up was not possible from log in screen. While checking recovery options,I was informed that the graphic card and display drivers were not properly detected and hence the system cannot start. I was advised to manually reconfigure the display drivers. How do I go about it? I may mention that the earlier version 14.04.1 LTS was working ok and I was able to instal proprietary display driver for nvidia 9100 M G card.

Have you tried:
log into recovery from boot (hold shift at boot)
select 'Advanced Options'
Then select 'Recovery' option
Make sure you are connected to a network via cable, then select:
Enable networking
Once the process completes select
root
then type:
login
enter your username and password
then try:
sudo apt-get install linux-source && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates nvidia-settings-updates
sudo shutdown -r now
