![]() ![]() To summarize this all up… I made a 32-bit bootable USB drive which installed a 32-bit version of Ubuntu along with the GRUB launcher. Using unetbootin inside the 32-bit Ubuntu, I then made a bootable partition on my hard disk from a 64-bit Ubuntu ISO which could then be booted from the GRUB. This allowed me to boot and install a 64-bit version of Ubuntu without a DVD drive. Major kudos to all the authors and contributors in the mentioned blogs and threads for paving the way for this to work. I spent days sifting through message boards and this was the only method that worked for me. Below are the detailed steps I took to get this working. ![]() Rename your 32-bit Ubuntu install ISO you just copied to boot.iso Make bootable USB (32-bit)ĭownload the obscure German USB creator from here.įormat a USB stick to FAT32 and manauly create the folder structure efi/boot/ inside of it.Ĭopy a 32-bit Ubuntu install ISO (I used 14.04 desktop) and the file bootIA32.efi from the german package into the /efi/boot directory you just created. ![]() Your USB drive should now look like this: (image taken from my chormebook, the drive is named UNTITLED) ISO 2 USB EFI BOOTER FOR MAC ISO Thats it! Now when you restart and hold down Alt, you can select the USB from the list of boot options, no Refit install required. The instructions are similar to this post, with the exception that we’re using the file bootIA32.efi instead of bootX64.efi, which I tried earlier with both 32 and 64 bit Unbuntu install disks, but it didn’t work. Now you can go through the Ubuntu install once the Live USB has booted. ![]()
