I had to use boot repair on insulation of 11.04, 11.10,and 12.04 to make Ubuntu visible on My grub table. 11.04 and 11.10 I had on my Sony viao. Then I moved up to a Samsung NP700Z5C laptop. Put 12.04 on that. When 12.10 came out I bricked my rig trying it out, on A live usb thumb drive. Ubuntu is getting harder and with every new distro to install on my computer. I wish Ubuntu would slow down for just for one year to chase out most of there bugs.

I had been running fine Ubuntu by manually enabling CSM as boot option in BIOS and booting but GRUB would give an error trying to load Windows 8, I had to manually change back to UEFI boot option to load Win 8. I hadn't had time to find a fix to this. FYI when I installed Ubuntu I used the option install alongside Win 8. I have subsequently used the excellently tool here to fix this: http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/ I used this by installing via Ubuntu and just running standard options, upon reboot im running fine. And GRUB now boots fine into Ubuntu or Win 8. When I get time i'm going to actually dig a bit deeper and write a guide and figure out the actual issue but as a Linux noob I've not had the time to go too deep into the root cause. In essence using my above steps and then using the boot repair tool I'm able to dual boot fine. Will update in the future again. -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to a duplicate bug report (1124616). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040557 Title: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C,np700z5c laptop Status in Ubuntu CD image build software: Invalid Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu quantal series: Fix Released Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in “linux” source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Bug description: I cannot provide detailed log massages because laptop is bricked right now. If you have courage to try it select UEFI boot from bios and than try to boot laptop using liveusb (made form Precise Pangolin 12.04.1 amd64). Laptop hangs up in black screen. If you force power-off, after it, laptop wont start. I mean it not event start bios, just black screen no sounds nothing. I filing this report, because i already bricked second laptop. At first i thought it was unrelated issue and laptop was fixed by warranty service (replaced motherboard), but after second time i quite sure.
