Hello,
I am currently trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 Desktop AMD64 on a 50GB unallocated partition. I downloaded "ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso" and have tried mounting it on my 16GB USB flash drive using Pendrive Linux, Unetbootin, and LinuxLive USB Creator. The md5sum is the same as the one listed on the Ubuntu release site. I can boot using the UEFI or standard USB in the boot options. After selecting either Run Ubuntu without installing or Install Ubuntu I get the same error stating "(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system". I have only briefly used Ubuntu in the past, so I am not that experienced with it. Any help resolving this issue so I can install Ubuntu would be appreciated. Please let me know if you need more information.
System Specs:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
AMD FX-6300
GIGABYTE Radeon HD 7870
8GB RAM (4GBx2)
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB SSD (Windows 7 installed on this drive)
WD Black WD1001FALS 1TB (contains all my data files i.e documents, music, videos, etc)
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST1000DM005/HD103SJ 1TB (50GB of this drive are unallocated to install Ubuntu on)
