  1. [ubuntu] Re: No operating system detected during installation

    Ok I updated my BIOS, but it didn't change anything. It's still not detecting windows 8. If I click 'something else' in the installer it lets me view all the different partitions, but I'm pretty new...
  2. [ubuntu] Re: No operating system detected during installation

    What I understood is that it's something actually built into the laptop, physically protecting the hard drive if it's dropped or something. I believe I have the latest updates, but I can check to...
  3. [ubuntu] Re: No operating system detected during installation

    From what I understand it's a hardware protection thing, so it shouldn't make a difference. Do you think I should try installing an older version than 13.10? Would that possibly help?

    Here's the computer I have: http://www.staples.com/HP-Pavilion-15-N066US-15-inch-Laptop/product_284386

    I'll take another look and see if there's some other UEFI settings that might apply, but I...
  5. [ubuntu] Re: No operating system detected during installation

    I have an AMD processor so intel SRT shouldn't be an issue. I don't have gparted, but here's what windows disk manager looks like.

  6. [ubuntu] Re: No operating system detected during installation

    Ok I shrunk the windows partition by 50GB, which now shows up as unallocated space next to drive C. I rebooted to Ubuntu, tried to install again and had the same problem. Then I remembered windows...
  7. [ubuntu] Re: No operating system detected during installation

    I've already disabled fast boot and also SecureBoot in my BIOS. I'm pretty new to this, so I was hoping I could go the automatic route instead of manually resizing partitions. Is there a way I can...

  10. [ubuntu] No operating system detected during installation

    I'm trying to install Ubuntu alongside windows 8 on my laptop. I downloaded the 13.10 iso and burned a live dvd, but when I boot from the dvd and try to install Ubuntu it says 'no operating system...

  12. [ubuntu] Re: Using wubi to install ubuntu on a usb drive

    I don't know if I want to invest in an external hard drive yet, so if there's that much difference in performance I think for the time being I'll just use a live usb. Does it matter if I use...
  13. [ubuntu] Re: Using wubi to install ubuntu on a usb drive

    I looked at unetbootin and saw that it creates a live USB instead of a full install. Initially I assumed that a full install would be better, but after doing a little more research I read that it...
  14. [ubuntu] Re: Using wubi to install ubuntu on a usb drive

    I got the impression that wubi was the easiest way to install ubuntu on a windows machine, but if unetbootin is better I'll look at that instead. How would I go about disconnecting my internal drive...

    Apparently /media/ubuntu did not exist, which was causing my problems. I created it manually and now everything seems fine.

    I have ubuntu-restricted-extras and libdvdcss2 installed, and I'm still having the same problem. I don't know if it's directly DVD related, because I get the same error when trying to open the...
