I am trying to install Ubuntu 14.04.1 on my precision 3800 but I am encountering huge difficulties. My problem is that the USB pendrive I created does not load at all the installer.

I disabled fast boot, secure boot but still no boot from the USB drive.

I used legacy boot and the initial boot menu popped up but then none of the options were accessible.

Any suggestion?

Windows 8 (or 8.1) needs to be properly shutdown, so Windows can unmount the disc.

And also, if you have a problem with your USB pendrive, you need to Eject and then plug it in again when you install Linux on it.It needs to be named like this: "Install Ubuntu"

If you can not still install, try to search for a new version of your BIOS.

  • Updating the UEFI/BIOS was the key. Now it runs smoothly
