I have been having numerous issues with trying to get Ubuntu 12.10 to run properly, or for that matter, install.
I am running it off of a bootable USB created by LiLi and I have tried a few other USB converters however I forget their names at the current and all have failed at an install. The first issue I came across is, from what I can tell, Ubuntu doesn't like Windows 7 computers with UEFI and with 3TB HDD.
I'm not exactly sure how to fix these issues and simply tried reinstalling it with a reformatted USB of Ubuntu because I assumed originally that the problem lie within the original USB install. However, upon trying it a second and third time I can no longer access Firefox as it goes to a black command prompt-esque screen which tells me about checksumming and seems to freeze there or it will go to the Ubuntu login screen. This happens with Amazon and Firefox from what I've tried so I assume it might be something with how it connects to the internet is messed up as well.
I haven't been able to exactly find anything that helps me all too much as I am very new to the Linux scene and am not familiar with most of the jargon as of yet so I would most likely need a very simply said explanation as to what I am to do to get it off the ground and installed properly, as the closest I've gotten to getting it installed, is it asking whether I want dual boot or HDD override (which I prefer dual boot if that helps guide me through this).
Thank you for reading this and I hope to find a few people who are able to figure out my issues as I have used every kind of method I could think of at the moment and am at a loss.
