Attempting to install Ubuntu on an HP Touchsmart TM2

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 4060 / 3 Years ago, sun, may 16, 2021, 12:58:02

When I go into the setup utility I have the options:
Main, Security, Diagnostics, System Configuration, Exit

This is different from what I've seen online when trying to find a guide.

But, in the System Configuration option I have a Boot Options section. So, I click that. I have a Boot Order option, so I click that. I get the options:
USB Diskette on Key/USB Hard Disk, Notebook Hard Drive, USB CD/DVD ROM Drive, ! USB Floppy, ! Network Adapter

I tried selecting the USB Diskette on Key/USB Hard Disk but when I restart it tells me "BOOTMGR is missing, restart"

I am at a loss. Help!

Thanks in advance. <3

If you are using Windows 8 in UEFI mode, you need to press F9 (for HP Laptops) to select your boot device, and you have to select an option like
`USB Diskette on Key/USB Hard Disk (EFI mode)

Also you may need to disable the secure boot option from your Bios Menu, it would most probably be present under the System Configuration tab.

Edit-

Also Enable Booting From USB

and

Disable Fast StartUp

from your BIOS Menu.

You may also need to Disable Secure Boot from the BIOS Menu as well.

To Bring Up the BIOS menu, press F10 while booting( for HP Laptops)

Note--
You can check if you are running UEFI mode by going to the system bios by pressing F10 and checking under the System Configuration tab.

If you are facing any problems please let us know.
