Hi
I have recently bought a new PC, with no operating system pre-installed. I have installed Win7 with a usb key, with no problems. I created an installation usb for Ubuntu 14.02.2 LTS, and the GNU-GRUB screen (version 2.02-beta2-9ubuntu1) shows us correctly, with the following options:
-Try Ubuntu without installing
-Install Ubuntu
-OEM install (for manufacturers)
-Check disk for defects
I have tried both of the first options, after selecting them, the screen turns black and then... nothing. So far, I have ignored the other two options, as they are not what I'm looking for, and since the screen shows up correctly, I consider that the usb key works correctly.
The usb key has been created both in Ubuntu (another PC) and Windows, and in both the GNU GRUB screen shows up correctly, but after selecting an option, the screen goes black and the installation does not continue.
The PC has an SSD drive in which I have Win7 OS and wish to install the Ubuntu OS, leaving the larger HDD drive for personal files. Could this have anything to do with this?
I have previously installed Ubuntu in other PCs with no issues, but with PCs with pre-installed windows. In one case, with two "conventional" HDs, and have not encountered these issues.
Any ideas? I really want to install Ubuntu in the PC as I have in previous computers.
Thanks in advance
