I'm trying to install Ubuntu via a live USB. This isn't my first rodeo, I've had a dual-booting system for a while (+ Windows 7), and after experimenting a little, I ended up breaking Ubuntu. No worries, I uninstalled it. Now I'm trying to get back in the game, but things aren't working.
Let me start with what I've tried:
creating the bootable usb drive with both unetbootin and Linux Live usb creator
both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of both 12.04 and 13.04
Even used checksum, and everything checked out.
Also tried every iteration on all (4) usb ports.
Tried running it in virtual box (after using Linux Live usb creator) and I get the same result (see below)
This is what happens with every attempt above
When booting, i hit escape, get to the boot menu, and Sandisk usb key is an option from which to boot. I choose it and I get a message 'missing operating system' before it goes to the Windows splash screen and Windows boots like normal.
Any ideas?
If you need any more info about my system, I'd be happy to tell you; just let me know what you need.
Thanks in advance!
