Cannot boot ubuntu CD on UEFI new laptop (Toshiba Satellite L850)?

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 6266 / 3 Years ago, sat, october 2, 2021, 1:05:05

I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 on a new Laptop coming with Windows 8.
I have read that only 64 bits are compatible with UEFI, so I tried the 32 bit and now the 64 bit.
I disable the Secure Boot from bios, but still got the message "Check media [fail]".
The CD (actually, physically a DVD) boot ok from other laptops or if I set the boot method to non-uefi (but then Windows doesn't - and that's my office laptop).
Any solution? Is it a bug or I lost some info ?

Thanks,
Antonello

Summary: it works (boots) with the original Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit iso, it doesn't boot with the 32 bit nor with the 64bit Ubuntu Secure remix 64bit.
