Comment 38 for bug 1341944

I feel real silly that I bought the Asus X205TA with the intention of installing Ubuntu for the first time (Linux for the first time! I'm a beginner) without investigating the problems. I got the USB I made to boot by copying the boot loader file as advised but I have spent almost a week trying to get an install to boot. I've yet to find any instructions on how to fix it that are simple enough for me to follow, although I've learned a huge amount in these few days! Wondering if I should just download the 32bit image (I wiped the disk so I have no OS but the live version on USB - i prefer this dismal situation to using the horror that is windows 8) which would presumably work?
