I am trying to install Kubuntu 14.04.3 x64 on a Lenovo B575 via USB. For some reason, the CD/DVD drive refuses to read DVD's, but reads CD's fine, but that's not the issue. I can get it to boot from the USB, I select install, and all goes smoothly. once it's installed, it refuses to boot, it trues the network boot, the USB, CD/DVD but refuses to boot from the HDD.
I installed it as the only OS on the computer, instructed it to use the full disk, but for some odd reason, it installs a 512 MB Fat32 partition on the HDD as the boot, then the ext2 one after that! I have never had a linux install do this, from Ubuntu, Kali, opensuse, to Fedora, and nowhere in the install did I specify this. (this happened when I tried to install Ubuntu as well.)
I have swapped HDD's, since the original had errors with sector count, still no go.
I know it is that stupid fat32 partition, but don't know enough about changing partitions yet to edit it without some instruction. Can I delete that then expand the ext2 and add a boot flag? this is really starting to **** me off.
Thanks for any help
