I have a Lenovo Ideacentre Q180 and I can not install ubuntu on Q180.


What am I doing wrong?


1) Download the distribution ubuntu 64 bit (tried 14.04 LTS and 15.04)
2) I have used UNetbootin (and other usb creater) to make a bootable USB
3) I set the BIOS to boot from usb (F1->BIOS->Startup->primary boot sequence->1: usb fdd: 2: usb key: …->F10 save and exit)
4) Loading screen on a black background with a choice 1) Try Ubuntu without installing 2) Install Ubuntu ….
5) Сhoose to install and simply follow the steps Installer.
6) Ubuntu says it has successfully installed and asks reboot
7) after a reboot (removing usb) BIOS writes “reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key” OS does not boot


p.s.
I tried to install with a choice through F12 uefi usb,
also I tried to manually set the drive to GPT, partitions /dev/sda1 EFI (ESP) fat16/32, /dev/sda2 ext4 /, /dev/sda3 linux-swap,
also I tried to run Boot-Repair (http://paste.ubuntu.com/12047121/)


how to install ubuntu on q180?

You set the BIOS to look for an operating system on a device plugge into a USB port. Is the BIOS still looking to the USB port? Have you now set the BIOS to look for an OS on the hard drive?

Regards.
