Hello everyone,
I am attempting to install ubuntu on my ssd which currently holds my Win7 OS partition. I shrunk the Win7 partition and made a new 25GB partition for Ubuntu. I burned an .iso image of Ubuntu onto a freshly formatted usb drive and booted from this drive. When I launch a live session of ubuntu or attempt to install I get the typical purple loading screen. When I press esc at this screen I can read the following error messages:
"Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb3': Operation not permitted
The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount operation.
mount: mounting /dev/sdb23 on /cdrom failed: No such device [ ] Buffer I/O error on dev sdd, logical block ######"
This is repeated a bunch of times for different serial ports until it ends and I have to restart the machine. One thing I notice now after writing this up is that it seems to be attempting to mount to /cdrom which doesn't seem right. Maybe this is part of the problem?
I tried shutting down Windows in a variety of ways and also disabled fastboot in the BIOS as per instructions on an Ubuntu forum. After no success some members of the forum directed me here.
I have 2 other drives which previously held Windows operating systems as they were used in old computers. I currently use them as data drives and never wiped them. Could these drives be interfering with the .iso image? I can post screenshots of my partition wizard to show what my setup looks like if that would be helpful.
Anyone more experienced think they can provide help? Thank you
