I have Windows 8 on a Dell XPS 12. I just reinstalled Windows 8 and have legacy boot, not longer UEFI. I used Wubi and installed Ubuntu. The laptop restarts. I chose Ubuntu and the screen turns purple for a second and I hear a beat and then the screen goes black and nothing happens. Did I do something wrong?
Also secure boot and quick boot.
As everyone said , it's probably the problem with the installation itself and not regarding bootloader, and use pendrivelinux to burn ubuntu to usb , since its slightly slower => less chances of failure/corruption.
At splash screen of dell , choose boot menu (I think its F12) otherwise enter setup and set priority to usb.
Then on partitioning screen , choose to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8.
