(I can't count the number of questions I've seen from people who need help with this.) That said, on rare occasion it is necessary to install in BIOS/CSM/legacy mode and deal with the EFI boot loader installation issues, or even re-install Windows in BIOS/CSM/legacy mode to work around particularly buggy EFIs. Doing so will require you to install an EFI-mode boot loader after the fact, which is extra work that can itself cause confusion and complications. I do not recommend installing in BIOS/CSM/legacy mode except as a last resort. Such tools can therefore sometimes create USB flash drives that are unbootable in EFI mode. Furthermore, EFIs vary greatly, making it impossible for developers of such tools to test on a wide enough variety of systems. More complex programs, like unetbootin, were designed with BIOS-mode booting in mind. In particular, you may be having problems because you used unetbootin - the Ubuntu installer should work fine if copied to a USB flash drive via the Linux dd command or equivalent tools in Windows. See my page on installing Linux on EFI systems.

Have you ideas about what I need to do to be able to boot from USB? Of course, I tried to boot from my USB key on an other computer having normal BIOS and it works perfectly. In this case, the computer freezes at Dell logo. I also tried to boot from USB with "Legacy Boot" option instead of UEFI. When it is complete, the computer restarts and does the same thing). The little blue progress bar is growing normally. The computer tries to boot into infinite loop (when the USB key is plugged in, the computer starts and the Dell logo appears. The problem is I am unable to boot from the USB key. I created a bootable USB key for Ubuntu (Ubuntu 13.10 64bits international Edition) with Unetbootin. So, I set Secure Boot to "off" into BIOS and I disable Fast Startup as described here.
I tried to follow all these instruction and these instructions too. I want to install Ubuntu in dual boot with Windows 8.
