Thread: Install from USB

-

i bought samsung series 9 ultrabook (np900x4c-a05au) , trying install linux distribution (dual boot) on it.

machine won't boot usb (no cd drive), have disabled fast boot bios, used 2 different (ntfs formatted) usbs , tried 3 usb ports.

tried using unetbootin, universal usb installer, diskimager , linux live usb creator make image on usb.

tried using ubuntu, kubuntu , kali on usb.

pressing f10 can see usb in boot menu, machine not boot usb (even when disabling boot hdd in bios).

know else can try, or how fix this?

ultrabook complicates complicated uefi install intel uses raid desktop installer not see, , have optimus many working bumblebee.

need use 64 bit version of 12.10 or 12.04.2 , uefi menu boot flash drive in uefi mode. way install in uefi mode.
systems need quick boot or fast boot turned off in uefi settings. vital systems. best backup efi partition , windows partition first.
use windows disk tools shrink windows main partition, not create new partitions, if installing on same drive.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/uefi
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/uefi
of 12.04.2, possible install on uefi systems secure boot enabled (using signed versions of shim, grub, , linux kernel). set ubuntu (desktop, alternate, , server) , edubuntu images due pressures of time; expect enable across entire ubuntu family 12.04.3. details:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/precisepango.../ubuntudesktop
installing grub uefi secure boot possible if have booted system using efi.

disable raid, using intel rapid management thingy , telling disable acceleration or use of ssd. if have different system, disable raid system install ubuntu. once installed can re-enable it.
sudo dmraid -e -r /dev/sda
sudo dmraid -e -r /dev/sdb
you need use dmraid command prior running ubuntu installer able see partitions on drive because otherwise raid metadata in place see drive part of raid set , ignore partitions.

a week ago in premiere pro cs6 world. one day updated windows, next day few .mp4 video files opened in premiere pro, played fine well, except fact display has green (sometimes multicolour, solid green block) bars in lower third of screen. see screenshot below.   these same files open/display fine in after effects, photoshop , vlc- , quicktime players. i'd read fromyears ago windows updates causing this, removed 1 of therecent kb's no avail. i did install adobemediaencodertrial_64-6.0.3-mul-adobeupdate and dynamiclinkmediaserverretail-1.0.1-mul-adobeupdate and reverted quicktime 7.6 but nothing makes difference.   in end, formatted c:\, reinstalled windows 7 ultimate 64bit , downloaded/installed 260 updates , reinstalled cs6 (and aforementioned ame , dlms updates , qt7.6) it's still same problem.   also tried exporting (part of) 1 of these files, see if wasn't display problem: exported file same properties original has green bars.   what else can do?   thanks in advanc
