Hi all,
I am an Ubuntu novice but have been doing a few searches and trying different things to fix my problem to no avail.
My problem is :
- Running Dualboot w7 and ubuntu 13.1. I am unable to boot into the Ubuntu operating system* as it just hang on the purple screen every time I try. It won't let me into the sign on screen or anything. *It has let past the purple screen and therefore log in twice after a bunch of random button pressing.
- See attched pics for more info
My Situation is:
- Installed using a USB made with UNETbootin. Have done this 4 times before with no troubles (even on current machine) but only as a single operating system.
- Mostly followed he instructions listed here
for my dual boot set-up but a couple of things varied.
- Computer is and Acer Aspire S3 'ultrabook' with an i3-2367M CPU, 4gb Ram and a 120gb Samsung 840 SSD.
-SSD is partitioned as follows: From left to right:
-100mb NTFS 'system reserved' (almost certain this was created by windows)
-19.9GB NTFS 'C:' This is where windows is installed
- Extended partition
- 16gb ext4 for ubuntu
- 5gb swap partition
- 70.79 GB FAT32 Storage drive for shared files
I am new to Ubuntu and really really like it. I want to use ubuntu predominantly have windows for things like uni work and word processing.
Any help is seriously appreciated. Hopefully there's an answer out there!
P.s i have added a couple of pics which might aid diagnosis. I took the during a couple of failed boots
