Do you plan to use dual boot? Before creating a live-usb with rufus you need to figure out first if you need to be using MBR+BIOS-boot or GPT+UEFI-boot. See here: wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Some_basics_of_MBR_v/…

I am planning to use just Ubuntu and I don't need Windows 7 - I am new to Linux and new to Sysadmin side of things- I work in Windows environment and database development side - so I am fine with whatever works on my machine

In that case, the easiest way to go would be going into your bios, making sure you disable UEFI and stick to BIOS boot mode, then configure rufus for MBR/BIOS when creating your live-usb.

yes, I used same settings (MBR/BIOS) as in this - tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/… page. except cluster size it was defaulted to 32 KB usb live creation is fine and I disabled UEFI - the option in Sony Vaio is External Boot - enable. After it goes into boot - just gets "Boot error" - no other info
