I just bought an HP desktop, p6-2326s, which has windows 8 installed. I have tried booting a Ubuntu live disc but the machine won't boot it. When I bring up the UEFI boot menu it offers a selection of UEFI BOOT SOURCES, windows boot manager, dvd drive, IP4 Ethernet controller, or IP6 Ethernet controller.
This is a new computer that can only boot in UEFI mode. ( or at least I do not know how to switch to normal BIOS mode). I am not able to install ubuntu 12.04.1 or ubuntu 12.10 using the livecd. The live CD does not boot properly. I get error message with subsequent kernel panic. It came with windows 7 preinstalled. bcdedit indicated that windows in UEFI mode.
I have an X-series Asus laptop which I just bough about a month ago. I want to dualboot Ubuntu - Windows.
I can easily access LiveUSB with both UEFI enabled and disabled. I heard that there were problems with UEFI, so I disabled it. After I've installed the system I couldn't access it.
Hi all Im trying to follow the instructions on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
Im trying to do an initial check out of an newly purchased computer with no pre-installed operating system currently installed (a blank system from Novatech in the UK). Im trying to boot from Ubuntu 12.10 on a USB stick.
Dear> I speak spanish, and i try to write this thread in english. Sorry my mistakes.
I bought an ultrabook with windows 8 and UEFI boot. I format the disk with gparted and i install ubuntu 12.10 from usb-live.
I got a new DELL XPS 8500 with Windows 8. I understand that it has UEFI (as opposed to traditional boot-loading BIOS system).
I installed Ubuntu 12.04 (not realizing that it doesn't work as well with the secure-load/uefi system). I partitioned my solid state drive so Windows was on one partition, and Ubuntu would be on a new one (sdb7). This always worked with my PREVIOUS computer...
Hi,
I currently have a a HP Probook 4320s with UEFI. It has a Intel Celeron P4600 CPU. Windows 7 Professional x64 is installed on the computer, where HP has supplied ProtectTools which allows Windows and the UEFI to "communicate" meaning that at boot I enter my password in UEFI, but I'm not required to enter my password at Windows login. Windows is still password protected, ie.
I've recently purchased a Lenovo T430, and sadly when configuring it, I forgot all about the Linux UEFI Fiasco, and kept the default option of pre-installing Windows 8.
I'm able to disable secure-boot, but what I would like to know is whether I need to install Ubuntu in UEFI or Legacy Mode.
I have a Samsung XE500T1C-A01AU, I was wondering, If and how I could install Ubuntu on it while keeping Windows 8 installed, as it only has a 32 bit processor and it has UEFI instead of BIOS.
Thanks
