I tried installing Ubuntu x64. I mounted the .iso file using daemon tools, and copied its contents on my USB. I already configured BIOS to boot from USB.
I found wubi.exe in that mounted .iso file. I ran it and it installed Ubuntu, then it said, I must reboot. I selected reboot now options.
I'm trying to install 12.10 from a burned DVD. When I try to boot from the disc, I'm met with a Grub screen that shows four options (the standard "Try Ubuntu without installing" / "Install Ubuntu" list). No matter which option I select, the DVD spins for a bit and the screen goes black.
I've tried multiple verified Live DVDs.
I´ve been trying to follow every guide I see about installing ubuntu onto a UEFI laptop, but so far nothing has worked. Basically I want to overwrite windows 8 with ubuntu, so I never have to see it again. I installed ubuntu 12.10 64 bit with pendrive onto a USB, went into the computer BIOS, set the usb drive as the priority, disabled fastboot and secure boot.
I'll start from the beginning...
At first I installed ubuntu11.10 via wubi in windows and it failed. (See Here)
Then I tried installing 11.04, 10.10 and 10.04 with wubi again.
I have been trying to install ubuntu 12.10 - 64 bit in my system with the following config:
HP Pavilion G6
Windows 8 - 64bit
8 GB RAM
Intel Core i5
I have read a number of articles on internet talking about the it. But the problem with me is I am unable to boot from USB, CD in any case.
I have disabled the secure mode settings, and set the correct boot order.
Please tell me how to uninstall it without effecting windows 7. I tried wubi but it didn't start up after the first boot up. On the second boot up option came up to select Ubuntu or windows 7. I choose Ubuntu but only logo appeared and then after that blank black screen nothing else.
i have tried several times to install ubuntu using wubi, i can't use a disc as i have a notebook computer and there is no optical drive.
the download and installation all seem to work well but whenever i try to boot ubuntu at the windows 7/ubuntu menu it comes up with this error screen.
I have used both the C: drive and the D: drive to install Ubuntu several times each, it's always unsuccessful.
I switched back to Windows 7 for a while after installing and using Ubuntu 12.04 on a regular basis. I decided to reinstall Ubuntu using a flash drive I had used for it last time.
The flash drive I am using is a Verbatim 16GB, with a 2GB FAT16 partition I made to use install Ubuntu.
The problem occurred when I installed Ubuntu alongside Win7.
I've tried VMs and now Wubi, and whenever i use a VM to install, i get "must run in low graphics mode" with a black screen or it freezes afterward.
When I install on my real machine through wubi, I reboot into Ubuntu, and I get the following:
"completing the Ubuntu installation"
"For more installation boot
options, press 'esc' now"
"0"
"_"
It stays on this screen for a
