Ubuntu 12.04.2 Dual boot UEFI Windows 8 Preinstalled CX21903W Ultrabook
- by user180782
Hi i have a problem trying to install ubuntu. The machine is a CX Ultrabook model CX.21903W Intel I5 with 500GB hard disk, 8 GB ram and 32 GB SSD.
From Installing Ubuntu on a Pre-Installed Windows 8 (64-bit) System (UEFI Supported), and according to the steps guide:
1 - We create a partition from Win8 (70 GB) from the own win8 program.
2 - Confirm-SecureBootUEFI=True.
3 - From Win8, shift + Restart and from special menu we selected the UEFI Firmware Setting.
4 - From BIOS Option:
------Option 1) Disable Secure Boot.
------Option 2) Disable UEFI (Not Available)
from Option 1: Three ways is available.
With Secure Boot enable - We can't even boot ubuntu. A red windows saying Soft unproper signed.
With Secure Boot disable - and this config in boot device order:
----1: UEFI: USB
----2: Windows Boot Manger
----3: Others
and CSM (Compatibility Support Module): enable - GRUB appears and selecting try Ubuntu then a black windows appears and nothing happens. The same result if install ubuntu is selected.
With Secure Boot disable - and this config in boot device order:
----1: USB (No UEFI)
----2: Windows Boot Manger
----3: Others
and CSM (Compatibility Support Module): enable - GRUB appears and selecting try Ubuntu, - Ubuntu boots and we can install it even.
5 - Rebooting and just changing the boot order as
----1: Ubuntu []
----2: Windows Boot Manger
----3: Others
then nothings happens.
6 - Booting from LiveUSB again and, as per instructed, making Boot-Repair (A warning windows: Ubuntu is working in legacy mode.).
7 - Saving changes and rebooting, Grub works but selecting Ubuntu, a black windows appears and nothing happens. Selecting Win8, Win8 boots and works.
Untill now we can't make the ubuntu installation. Any suggestion will be welcomed.
kind regards and thanks in advance.
