I have Windows 7 64bit and Ubuntu 12.04 32bit set up for dual boot. Now I want to replace the Ubuntu installation with 13.04 64bit. But when I try to boot from the LiveDVD the installtion freezes before I get to the graphical screen (it freezes at the part where the cursor is blinking). When I do the same thing with a 12.04 64bit DVD it works fine.
I noticed that when I use the BIOS to change the onboard SATA controller mode from Native IDE to AHCI, the installation for 13.04 works. However this messes my Windows installation up. Apparently there is a way to get Windows working with AHCI without reinstallation, but on the first try it did not work and I think it's easier to get Ubuntu working with Native IDE as I want to reinstall it anyway.
So, how can I install Ubuntu 13.04 64bit without setting the SATA controller mode to AHCI?
