Just a quick question !

How would you put ubuntu on it ? I have tried changing the boot partition to GRUB and somehow windows still ends up loading !

like how is that even possible ??

I guess you need to do a boot repair. All you need is the same bootable flash drive and follow instructions online as to how to repair GRUB. This kind is think l thing happens a lot, happened with me too. If the problem persists, contact me, I'll mail the steps.

Use your bootable Linux usb/disk and: (easy way) : install "boot-repair" and run it (harder way) : chroot into the linux partition and run "sudo update-grub"
