I used the instructions listed on http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows and I used a 4GB flash drive to try to install Ubuntu on my Lenovo P500 preinstalled with Windows 8. I want to make a bootable USB stick but it won't work. I've read some stuff about SecureBoot and UEFI on Windows 8 computers but I want to make sure that absolutely every change I do to my computer in order to boot Ubuntu from my USB is reversible. I am completely new to Linux, but I want to try it out. All help is appreciated. Thanks.

How won't it work? At what stage do things go wrong and what errors do you receive? What have you done so far? +1 For having a go even though you're new, and good luck :) – w4etwetewtwet Apr 28 '13 at 20:24
