Win32Diskimager is litteraly the only thing i trust with burning any ISO files to USB sticks anymore. it just makes everything work. also if your USB gets partitioned up and messed up beyond what windows disk manager can help you with use Rufus to burn FreeDOS to the stick and then format it. just a handy tip

So I used YUMI to turn the USB stick into a bootable USB stick ect ect...

I boot the laptop, go into BIOs and try and make it boot from the USB Stick. Screen goes to a blank screen for a split second and back to BIOs. Ok...

Let's try and attempt to boot it from the SSD and give it no other option but to boot from the USB stick. Alright... shows BIOs splash logo... loading... loading... IT GOES INTO THE REPAIR MODE or whatever it is called and just boots back into Windows 8... WAT.

Then, after it does that, the laptop REFUSES to boot past a black screen until I boot up without the USB stick plugged in and restore the BIOs. WHAT

Does your laptop have an F# key for selecting a boot device on boot? If so you can use that.

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

yumi is for multibooting, try rufus instead.

I've used YUMI multiple times to install Linux... and it is simple.

YUMI is simple, Rufus is more simpler-est-y @DarkBlade2117

 

What do you have to lose? Your current configuration isn't working properly.

ok so when I load up with RUFUS it goes to a screen just says grub> and a bunch of commands... YUMI had a simple GUI

@DarkBlade2117

Grub is what makes linux able to dual boot or multiboot... if you have rufus setup properly it will literally boot straight into ubuntu as long as that's all you have installed on that flash drive.

 

If it's grubbing, you probably still have YUMI.
