Comment 212 for bug 1040557

So tomorrow I will receive delivery of a new: Samsung 530U3C-A06PT. I will post more detailed specs tomorrow.

I plan on performing the following step's based on reading the above (specifically as per #202), please provide some thoughts on this:

- Update BIOS using Samsung Windows updater (Win 8)
- Decrease Win 8 partion size
- Reboot and confirm Win 8 Ok
- Reboot and disable UEFI/secure boot
- Change USB to first boot priority
- Reboot and install Ubuntu 13.04-desktop-amd64 - downloaded today (Using a reliable USB stick made with steps from: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows)
- See what happens!

I will grab further system/machine info upon delivery tomorrow before attempting the above. I have also sent a message to Samsung querying their best practice/advice but don't hold much hope on an answer before tomorrow.

Fingers crossed :)
