http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, I got a new Asus zenbook with the 24GB SSD and 500GB drive. I thought I'd be clever and preserve the out-of-the-box windows installation on the 500GB and install ubuntu on the 24GB drive. I got all of the partitions sorted out and ubuntu installed without any major problems, except I couldn't boot it - the bios (or UEFI "setup utility" I guess, now) just pointed to the windows bootloader and that's all I would get. So I ran boot-repair and asked it to set everything up for me - it knew about the two OSs and such ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/1198790/ ). After this, even the (Hardware)

[ubuntu] 12.04 on ASUS Zenbook 11 weeks 6 days ago

Hi,

Go a ASUS Zenbook with Win 8, installed Ubuntu 12.04 tried to fix the Win8 boot option in grub as I would get "error: unknown command drivemap invalid efi file path" with boot repair as recommended on http://askubuntu.com/questions/22183...ndows-8-system (also followed other options but nothing has helped) but didn't work....

I have EFI Windows 8 in my Asus K55V laptop. EFI partition is sda1.

I tried to install Ubuntu in EFI mode and selected separate boot partition as Ubuntu boot loaded.

Ubuntu installed perfectly, but I got 2 boot entries in EFI setup. When I tried to delete it in EFI setup, it restored on restart.

So I tried doing boot-repair, the thing is it added Grub2 to my sda partition.

I've bought new laptop Sony Vaio E14P series. It has pre-installed Windows 8, and I want to dual boot it with Ubuntu 12.10 64bit. I have diabled secure boot and install Ubuntu without any problem from live USB.

When I reboot after installation, it directly boot to windows 8, dont load GRUB at all. So I went to live USB again to boot-repair.

Hello all,

I purchased an Acer Aspire ME600 desktop computer. It came with Windows 8 preinstalled. I tried to install Ubuntu 12.10 on it. Here are my steps: 1. Download Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit 2. Burn .iso file to USB 3. Put the USB in the Aspire, and boot from it 4. Select "Install Ubuntu" 5. Resize Windows partition 6. Make two partitions in freed space: (1) ext4 /, (2) swap 7.

After a clean install of Ubuntu 12.10 the system won’t boot. After the BIOS screen I get the message: “Error 1692: No operating system found”

I ran the ‘boot-repair’ utility without success. Here is the boot info that utility generated:

Everything looks correct as far as I can tell.
