- Are you intending to dual boot with Windows or overwrite Windows?
- Is it correct that you run in UEFI mode? (I think you need that to use Windows 8)
- You may need to stop Windows from 'semi-hibernating' too.
Can you install Ubuntu in UEFI mode (with GPT partition table,
not MSDOS partitions with MBR)? Maybe you need another method to make the USB drive, for example cloning the iso with
mkusb according to the
Ubuntu Forums tutorial "Howto make USB boot drives"
Could be. Maybe you have to test a few proprietary drivers before you find one that works.
I have not heard of Melchior.
You can install proprietary graphics drivers from the
Software Center,
Synaptics or with terminal window commands. The name of the packages are
Code:
nvidia-current
nvidia-<some number> for example
nvidia-331
