Hello.
I have just bought a brand new Asus X201E and I want to install Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS on it.
First I must say that I had a problem with botting a LiveUSB: there was nothing but a black screen instead Ubuntu loading screen. Finally i managed to run a session, when I disabled a Secure Boot and CMS(or something like that) in BIOS - then there was a "black screen" again, but it was enough to hit ENTER and the system loaded fine.
I manually partitioned disk in this order:
but at the end of installation, such a information apeared:
I read a lot about this: one sorces say that I should make a EFI(?) partition, the other - like here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UE..._EFI_partition
If your disk already contains an EFI partition (eg if your computer had Windows8 preinstalled), it can be used for Ubuntu too. Do not format it. It is strongly recommended to have only 1 EFI partition per disk.
say - as far as I understand - that there is no need of creating such one.
I tough that this is a problem with a GRUB, that GRUB has no place to install. In fact, when I am commiting an installation process, on partitioning step there is a drop-down list, that says where to put a "bootloader program". On this drop lists there are a partitions that I made myself and a Windows partitions. As I did not know with one to choose, i followed this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1626263 - and left the "bootloader program" on: sda(without number)...
Can someone tell me and put in in a simple words - how should I install Ubuntu?
My only problem is this mentioned above, that at the end of installation an error apears, saying:
What am I doing bad, that the system can not be installed?
