I created a Ubuntu USB using rufus so that i can install Ubuntu on my Acer One 10 laptop/tablet convertible. The first time I booted using the USB i tried Ubuntu without installing to make sure it worked correctly, and it did, except for the keyboard. Then i shut it down, and booted it back up to actually install Ubuntu; the keyboard still didn't work, so i got up to plug in a separate keyboard, and I dropped it and the USB came out in the middle of the installation process. Now I can't get past the grub menu. I have tried it with 2 other USB's, and my sister's computer (same model), re-downloaded the ISO and re-imaged all three USB's several times, trying to troubleshoot the issue. The screen still just goes black after selecting an option from the grub menu.

As you were not able to complete the installation process. Try reinstalling it by USB, grub won't work as the OS is currently not installed.

Thanks for your reply, but this has only been happening when i try to reinstall it by USB. Without the USB, my computer just boots to the EFI shell.– JgdabbleAug 23, 2016 at 12:42

Trying it live without installing also goes to a black screen. Every option on the grub menu only brings up a black screen.– JgdabbleAug 23, 2016 at 15:19
