New Lenovo C440, initialised m/s to check machine and validate warranty. otherwise nought on it, apart from usual buy this, use this garbage that came pre-installed.
Burned new disc (12.04.2 64AMD) from Ubuntu site and it ran checksum to validate, happy loaded disc into new machine, wouldn't boot from BIOS like my old Lenovo N200 laptop. But it would open an wubi.exe file in m/s and install, running checks, with "success message", to reboot.
Upon rebooting it showed dual icons to choose either Ubuntu or M/S. Lol dual boot..?
Start Ubuntu, it failed, message read ubuntuwinbootwubildr.mbr0xcooooo7b missing files or errors have occurred.
Burn new disc and repeat, same again. Then another...!?
Download (12.04.2AMD & Intel EM64T) from https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/index.html and burn disc on Lenovo C440 as the optics in the CD/ROm are newer.
Failed again.
Not happy tried a download onto old laptop using its CD/ROM to burn 12.10 version, again no joy. Throughout the different installations got same message. ubuntuwubildr.mbr0xcooooo7b missing files or errors.
Run out of ideas now, did try switching on and off the CSM legacy in the start up section (this machine requires continued F1 pressing on and of while it starts up), ditto with auto mode, leaving the UEFI on, it took or has priority...?
If any can help, PLEASE a step by step idiot guide, still have my L-Plates on, lol :)
