I just bought a new HP computer with Windows 8. I installed an ssd as a second drive, and I want to install Ubuntu onto the new drive so I can dual boot.
I created a bootable thumb drive with 64-bit Ubuntu 12.10. I verified it works by using it to boot into Ubuntu on an old Windows XP box.
When I try to bootstrap from the thumb drive on my new Windows 8 box I get the grub menu okay, but when I select either 'run Ubuntu' or 'install Ubuntu', the screen turns black and then nothing happens.
Any suggestions? I'm a novice at this stuff so please don't assume much knowledge on my part.
