I loaded Ubuntu 11.1 from an install CD (purchased CD's) and when the system tries to boot up I get a long delay with a flashing cursor followed by the "Loading Operating System ..." statement that never loads my operating system.
I am using a GA880GA-UD3H Motherboard with a Phenom II X6 1055T processor, 16 GB (active) RAM, a Hitachi 4TB Deskstar HDD and (2) LG Blu-ray Disc Rewrite BD drives.
I have installed Ubuntu as a primary Operating system on Compaq laptop, because the win 7 system was corrupted. I tried to reinstall win 7 as a second OP system from a CD and a flash drive and received a message stating that it didn't have a way of reading the startup or setup execute file. What can be done to over come this problem?
I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS onto an 8gb flash drive just to experiment with Ubuntu.
I installed it with a 64 bit live cd on a macbook pro 4,1 with OSX 10.6.8 and I'm attempting to boot to the usb drive using refit.

I tried disabling secure boot and fast boot, but it did not work. Has anyone gotten this to and how do I get it to boot into Ubuntu.
i just installed ubuntu 12.10 alongside windows 7 but now my computer automatically boots to ubuntu. i want windows 7 as my default operating system. when i start up my laptop it shows me no settings or any screen asking me what operating system to use.
I have been using Ubuntu since Ubuntu 11.10 came out. I was very satisfied with how Ubuntu has evolved over the past few years, but now I would like to try out Fedora 17 since that has been out for a while simply for a change.
I do not get the following message when I try to boot from a disc drive:
"Allocate drive space
Use the checkboxes to choose whether you'd like to Install Ubuntu alongside another operating system, delete your existing operating system and replace it with Ubuntu, or — if you're an advanced user — choose the 'Something else' option"

I have 2 Hitachi Microdrives that I want to use as the boot drives for Ubuntu. The model I have is HMS360604D5CF00 and they are only 'True IDE enabled'.
They are exactly the same as the this one on ebay:
