Hello
I'm running Windows 10 on an HP Envy laptop and am trying to install Ubuntu16.04 as a dual-boot alongside Windows.
I already have Ubuntu14.04 installed but that operating system is broken and seems unfixable so I want to reinstall. I'm hoping to just overwrite it with a new 16.04 install.
I used Rufus to burn the Ubuntu16.04 IOS to a USB drive.
However, when I restart my computer and select the 'boot from USB' option I get an error message saying 'the boot device did not work'.
I've tried this with Universal-USB-Installer instead of Rufus, I've tried it with GPT and MBD partition types, I've tried it with a Kingston2.0 USB and an Apacer 3.1 USB, I've tried it with a 14.04 IOS instead of 16.04, I've tried it with Boot Security disabled and I've tried it with Legacy Configuration enabled.
Nothing works.
I need an Ubuntu OS running on my laptop for a University project. Please help.
