I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a Samsung ultrabook via a usb stick.

I've tried 12.04 both regular and alternate on 3 different USB sticks but not having success.

The laptop just keeps booting into windows.

I used unetbootin to create the USB image as this worked for when when doing a toshiba ultrabook installation.

I reset my Boot Menu to be

1 USB HDD

2 USB CD

3 USB FDD

4 SATA HDD SanDisk SSD u100 128GB

Then F10'd but no success, still boots windows.

I've tried changing UEFI boot support to be enabled and I've tried changing PXE OPROM to be enabled but neither has helped.

** -----> Found it! <----- **

The fix was pretty obsure and I had to test it out a bit to be sure.

Given how strange it was this may well help others who are stuck!

change the boot order putting the USB items first (3 in my case). Use f5/f6 keys.

and then...

on the advanced tab settings...

This took me 2 days to find!
