I have Windows7 Dell Inspiron laptop with following configuration

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Intel Core i3 4GB Ram

First I created a installtion DVD as per the steps and it got successfully burned from ISO image of 12.10 64bit. If I try to install Ubuntu or Selecte Try Ubuntu it is stuck up at boot screen with no specific error. Few forum suggested to change boot parameters but I couldn't understand appropriate option for me.

Secondly I created a USB drive from ISO image and used it but same results were optained.

Finally, I installed Ubuntu using the wubi installer. There weren't any errors during the install, and I can select Ubuntu from the boot menu. When I select Ubuntu, it is stuck up at boot screen and even waiting for a quite long few minutes 5-10 it never recovers and only option is to reboot.

I am not sure if this is incompatiblity between Ububtu 12.10 64bit with hardware that I have. Do I need to try long term support version? Any ideas?

  • Take a look at this in case there's a problem with your imaging. –  Jan 21 '13 at 11:22
  • Thank you, I've checked the md5 checksum and it matched. Still, none of the option USB/ DVD / WUBI works for 12.10 iso file. Also confirmed integrity via option described. Could it be because of this iso? will 12.04 give similar problem? – Manish Devraj Jan 21 '13 at 11:47
  • Did you go straight to installation? Did you try the "live" option first? Did that work? –  Jan 21 '13 at 11:51
  • I have not tried live option from the USB but I recall when I tried Try Ubuntu from DVD there was same problem. Anyway I will try Live option with USB.

    What is significance of live option over installation?
