I tried to install Ubuntu 12.04 on my new ASUS k55a laptop today, and somehow managed to lose access to all partitions on my computer. I tried boot-repair and reinstalling ubuntu but it's not helping. When I try to turn on my computer after the installation, it says to "Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device" on a black screen. In BIOS, there's no noticeable bootable options aside from the disk drive (I'm on Ubuntu Live CD).
I'm not completely sure what to post here, but I uninstalled all my partitions except the two windows partitions (OS and Recovery). What new partitions do I need to make when I install Ubuntu to make sure it loads up correctly? Here's my boot-repair prior to re-deleting the partitions:

You can now reboot your computer.
The boot files of [Ubuntu 12.04 LTS] are far from the start of the disk. Your BIOS may not detect them. You may want to retry after creating a /boot partition (EXT4, >200MB, start of the disk). This can be performed via tools such as gParted. Then select this partition via the [Separate /boot partition:] option of [Boot Repair]. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootPartition)

I'm not completely sure what to post here, but I uninstalled all my partitions except the two windows partitions (OS and Recovery). What new partitions do I need to make when I install Ubuntu to make sure it loads up correctly? Here's my boot-repair prior to re-deleting the partitions:

Boot successfully repaired.
You can now reboot your computer.
The boot files of [Ubuntu 12.04 LTS] are far from the start of the disk. Your BIOS may not detect them. You may want to retry after creating a /boot partition (EXT4, >200MB, start of the disk). This can be performed via tools such as gParted. Then select this partition via the [Separate /boot partition:] option of [Boot Repair]. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootPartition)
