k so I know!! i could find like 3 posts similar to mine, there were more, but those won't apply to me!
I tried Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit and 13.04 and 13.10 all 64-bit, no luck with any of them!
“unable to find a medium containing a live file system” (http://askubuntu.com/questions/15425/unable-to-find-a-medium-containing-a-live-file-system-error-when-installing)
So i went to the 32 bit 13.10 then 13.04, and surprize! Both worked perfectly! Now what from what I cant tell, as long as I don't need the 64-bit mode of the CPU I wont have problems, cause Ubuntu 32-bit can see my whole 8GB Ram, and I am happy, but still I don't like BUGS. In fact I hate BUGS. Even if it doesen't bother me..
So I tried changing to AHCI (I set it after Installing windows 7, cause it wouldn't install as AHCI so I changed it to IDE for the win7 installer's sake and then tweaked something in the registry so it will see the change, long story..) but I had no luck, same error! I dont have a UEFI ON/OFF switch in bios but i have this option at boot like
-UEFI: boot from USB
-boot from USB
so I tried both of them with no luck(one of them had a black screen at grub, the other the usual purple, can't remember which one of them)
How can I get the 64-bit version of Ubuntu to work? I have some linux experience, but I ain't that advanced to tweak it.. Since I can't find this error's cause..
Now the thing is I can't actually test it atm, cause my hdd went down, it's currently being replaced! (It wasn't broke at the moment of installing Ubuntu, then it was just 1 week old, and now it had almost 2 months)
System Specs:
-AMD FX X8 8350 4.0GHz
-RAM KINGSTON(2x4GB)
-GPU nVidia GeForce GT630 2GB
-MB it's a MSI (if you really need the model i'll look for it..)
-HDD SATA3 1TB Western Digital Blue 64bit buffer(2 windows partitions - 60/820GB , 1 ubuntu partition - 60GB)
Please tell me if you need something else and pardon my English :)
