Ubuntu

I have used both a live USB of 17.04 and 17.10 and can't get passed the boot loader.

Asked by Herbert Smith

I am fairly new to Linux but I have used USB's for live installs of different versions of probable 50 different times so I know how to pre-pair and use Live USB's. Every time I geto the place where the boot loader loads my program stop with a critical error message saying it's stopping because of the error. It gives no reason for not loading the boot loader or any thing else going south. I have used four different USB's and I can't seem to get by the spot on a live install where the Boot loader shoule install. I have not sent a bug report in yet because they suggest I ask for help before placing a bug report. I have searched your web site and could not find any thing related to this problem. I really appreciate any help I can get on this. Thank you.

Hi I finally solved my program by trying and figuring it out myself. I was clearing my cmos by touching the two pins necessary to just short them but then I kept excepting the default setup which did not like the legacy setup and changed a lot of my legacy settings to ufi. It seems my set up at its start has about five places where selecting legacy was really important that legacy or ufi and making sure that every one of my cmos settings was to check each page and every combination so they all, in my case, where legacy. I really appreciate all these great volunteers on this forum.
