Hello,
I want to dual boot with Ubuntu,But i am having problems,to be specific,i have 2 seperate but related problems
1) whenever i try to install ubuntu i get the following error
force UEFI installation?...this machine's firm ware has started the installer in UEFI mode but it looks like there may exist operating systems already installed using "BIOS compatibility mode"...If you wish to install in UEFI mode and dont care about keeping the ability to boot one of the existing system,you have the option to force that here instead of "Install alongside Windows" i tried installing ubuntu anyway but was unable to boot into windows.3 hours of struggling later,i deleted ubuntu and grub and got windows back
2) while booting from USB,i get a black screen(no signal) using the "try ubuntu" option,i realised this was because of my card NVIDIA GTX 970 using propreitary drivers,so i used the 'nomodeset' command to successfully boot into Live Ubuntu.
Here lies the issue,There are 2 ways from which the computer boots from the same USB,It shows up as 2 USB drives in my boot menu UEFI * USB drive* and just *usb drive* , by default,the PC boots into the UEFI *USB Drive* , this is the one where the options are shown i.e try ubuntu,install ubuntu etc.The *USB Driver* however doesn't give these options(so i cant edit the 'nomodeset' command in) and directly goes into a black screen/no signal.
I feel if i boot from *USB Drive* instead of UEFI *USB Drive* it should detect my Windows 8.1 and allow me to install ubuntu alongside it,But it doesnt allow me to see the desktop because i cant add the 'nomodeset' command
Any help will be appreciated
