What I have done:
- Downloaded
Ubuntu-130.10-desktop-amd64.iso
- Partitioned my SSD into a single partition with
Ext4
file system - Checked hashes - Hash for the
.iso
is ok Ran following command
sudo cat Ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64.iso > /dev/sdX
Tried to boot the SSD - This is when the black screen with blinking underscore comes.
- Tried different SATA port for the SSD - Same problem.
- New SSD is
#1
in boot order
I am partitioning and putting the installer in to SSD from another Ubuntu instance on a different hard drive.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
What is the recommended way to put the .iso
installation to the SSD?
