OK, I got it. Obviously, unetbootin does not work well on Mac OS X. I later did the same thing, creating a USB flash drive with unetbootin from an .iso file again, but this time I did it all on the Netbook Win7. And it worked. I finally decided for Ubuntu and installed it on the Netbook, eradicating Win7 as I hate everything M$ and need max. space for my files. The next problem was: The netbook did not boot into the new installed Ubuntu. I started again using the flash drive, holding ESC to get to the boot loader screen and choose the USB drive to boot from. This worked and Ubuntu came up fairly quick. I did not see the flash drive blink again, so I suspected its in fact working from the HD installed ubuntu. Removing the flash drive was no problem. Big problems for a longtime Mac user with no other OS experience. After some investigation I found out that probably Grub got installed on the flash drive instead of the HD. But how can I get it installed on the HD now? This page helped me solve it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1581099 by using the terminal. I run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc Followed the dialogue (OK for all of them) until getting to choose which drive or partition to install Grub on. Neede quiet some trying around until I found I can choose a location by hitting the space bar, this puts a * in front of it. I choose both who showed up and then OK. After that I had to run: sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda (sda is the main drive, other drives may be sdb or whatever) And this one too: sudo update-grub After that, shut off the Netbook and start again, and it booted into Ubuntu. First success! Hope this may help out someone. Thom ![]() Comments are closed.
