[ubuntu-studio-users] Cheers Mike from York; couldn't have done it without your help.

[Alex Armani]

Hi Mike, it's all fixed now. Thankyou so much 
for your help, couldn't have done it without you. On Ubuntu we, or 
rather, I, advise to boot off a dvd. The USB install fails, unless you 
use use the dvd you have created as the source for the usb ie not the 
.iso image file. So unplug everything like usb you don't need. I have to be carefull here as my bluetooth dongle is in my usb hub with another 
webcam, usb keyboard & usb mouse & USB DVD Writer etc. Reboot. 
Enter bios password. Boot off the dvd, and then wait.

And here's the most important bit.

Press
 F3, and set your country. Then F2 the same. Now, having previously 
checked the dvd for errors, the last thing you want is an aborted 
install because of a read error. Then, do the network install option. 
This is what I always do, making sure the electricity is not likely to 
go down, or the internet.

Now make a coffee, mine's 2 sugars, 
blue top milky, and sit and watch. Don't touch anything. Even loading 
FireFox to read the release notes. This is not the official way to 
install 14.1o or anything, but it is the best I have found.

All 
the official guyz are busy with the LTS stuff at the, so I have taken over for 
14.1o support. I'm on call 24/7/366. Unicorn Studio 14:1o ThatIs. Ubuntu Studo is basically 
Xbuntu, with a low latency kernel, with all the music, video and 
photography software, and all the codecs installed as default, so this 
should apply for other flavours of Ubuntu. I use the MATE desktop.

I
 advise if you have to boot the live install, is to load GParted, and 
then remove all Linux partitions, even your Linux swap partition. Reboot
 and do the Net install.

Result, a dual booting, with boot menu, 
Clean Install of 64bit Windows 7 HP, with all the updates, and a Clean 
64bit Unicorn 14.1o install. This is the current state of my machine. 
Well my old Toshiba Satellite laptop.It's for sale currently 8( I've given the ARM Chromebook 
{White} to my fiance. She loves it.
