Putting this onto an HP Envy 14 Beats Edition with the switchable graphics. Google'd a bit and didn't find this specific issue. I'm pretty new to Linux stuff, I have installed a couple distros before just to fiddle around but nothing extensive. I downloaded 12.04, installed on a VM and it worked fine, then installed from a CD which didn't work. So I ran the Windows util which installed fine, supposedly, and rebooted. The finishing installer, no matter what I can think of doing differently, ends at
(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system

EDIT: Installing from the Windows downloader instead of a CD worked, no idea why.
