“selected bootable device failed” error dual boot ubuntu alongside windows8.1
1
- i have an hp laptop, which runs Windows 8.1
- i wanted to dual boot ubuntu 14.04 with windows 8.1
- i disabled secure boot and fast startup
- then used a liveusb to boot then an error msg pops up saying "the selected bootable device failed"
my system boot order is :
- os boot manager
- usb hdd
- internal hdd
why is "selected boot device failed" popping up and should i try to keep usb hdd on the top of my system boot order in order to get it working?
dual-boot

simply, I would say yes. I, for myself, have a dualboot and I think I can remember that the usb device has to be the first one.

Maybe your USB device is not bootable well. create bootable your usb flash drive with using software like Universal-USB-Installer from here and format your USB as Fat32.
