Having trouble installing ubuntu on to my laptops hardrive

Asked by Tiger

Hello! After it says installation of ubuntu finished as i am using an live use to install it prompts please reboot, and if i reboot i do not go into ubuntu on my hardrive, it just leads me straight back into the live usb again. If i unplug the usb, i just boot right into windows. Any ideas?

Did you setup a dual boot? Is there only one drive in the system?

I just clicked install ubuntu parallel with windows from the live usb installation. I assume it should set up the dual boot. No i have multiple drives in the system if i check my partitions in windows. I think the installation created three more seprate partitions on my ssd.

If you boot to the Ubuntu install media and use gparted to view the partitions, do you see Linux partitions?

I assume you didn't run a setup file in Windows from the CD/USB stick. That is Wubi and is long dead...

Oh i just booted to ubuntu with live usb and found a ext4, a linux-swap and a 1 mb unknown file which i know it as the bios stuff for linux

Can you help with this problem?
