Ubuntu

Can't complete the install of 13.04

Asked by Rick Erisman Jr

Ok, so at the moment I am able to type this from the "try ubuntu without installing" part. I installed 13.04 from my usb stick, everything went fine, then at the end it said it needed to restart to finish the installation. I clicked ok and it rebooted to the original screen with the four options of 'trying ubuntu without installing,' 'install ubuntu' and something for manufacturer install and then the last one of checking disc for errors. I do not know what to do at this point. I have clicked install again and going through the install again and removing the usb stick after clicking restart at the end. this did not work and appeared to freeze the screen until i hold down power button and restart it. At the top it says GNU GRUB 2.00

Help Please, I've been trying to find answers for hours now..

I don't understand. What do I do now. During install I chose to replace windows with ubuntu. I don't think windows is in there anymore. As when I try to turn on computer without the usb stick in it an error message comes up that says something like image not found. The link provided didn't really answer my problem

Did you follow the steps regarding disabling Secure Boot and UEFI ? This critical ! You have to log in to your BIOS settings (reffer to manufacturer manual) and disable Secure Booot. Then you can safely boot Ubuntu USB and install it.

Can you help with this problem?
