I have been running Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit for a while but was told that my computer could run a 64 bit OS. So I downloaded Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit for desktop iso and made a bootable usb using Ubuntu's startup disk creator. I plugged it into the computer and tried to boot from the usb. When it tried to boot, this message showed up; Missing parameter in configuration file. Keyword: path After that these lines showed up and duplicated every few seconds;

gfxboot.c32: not a COM32R image

boot:

Does this mean that I cannot run 64 bit Ubuntu? Also, I am using a Dell Inspiron 1525.

maybe duplicate of this Missing parameter in configuration file. Keyword: path

seems you have to "hit Tab, type in live and hit Enter."

if you want to know if your cpu can run x64 run lscpu inside a terminal and look for something like CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit 64bit is what you need

or cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i model and search on web the model to see if it supports x64
