it's my first time installing Ubuntu on my desktop I've tried more than 5 copies, 3 usbs and programs ,2 cd's, changed the BIOS settings , used the special boot menu but have the same result:

When I chose to run ubuntu inside windows 8 32 this happens:

Unable to find a medium containing a live file system

When it's booting from the boot menu this happens:

(mounting /dev/loop0 on//filesystem.squashfs failed: no such device not mount.
/dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //file system.squashfs

I tried to install it by VM and every thing was good.

Why I can't install it?

Running Ubuntu inside Window's 8? From your question, I take it you want to install and dual boot? Please read the detailed answer here, for the best solution. For starters, dual booting on Windows 8 is only supported ob x64 bit operating systems, as far as I am aware.

Also please be more specific with what you are doing - what ISO are you buring, using what tool? Rufus, Pen Drive Linux etc. As mchid said, Wubi is no longer supported, so you need to try a separate method. Please refer to the first link I provided, and if this does not answer your question please add more information in.

If you want some more info, read up here.

I had a same issue and for me the think that worked was, earlier i was using rufus with default mode of creating the bootable usb but when i shifted to 'dd' mode of copying, it worked like charm and partition scheme changed to GPT.
