Goonsforever Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I have used the recommended procedure on the Ubuntu website. I cant install onto my gigabyte mobo. The led flashes so the USB is getting power. The screen says loading operating system...boot error Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Is that all it says? Personally I use "Unetbootin" to set up my thumb drives. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goonsforever Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Yes that is all it says. I have looked and I don't think it is recognizing the USB. Any suggestions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Some USB drives simply don't boot...but I'd try using unetbootin to "burn" the drive again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do mean install it to your hdd not your mobo right? Do you have the bios set to boot from usb? I know when i ran a thumbdrive distro while waiting for my hdd rma that it would not automatically boot from the usb despite the lack of other sources.

d6bmg Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 You can also use with32disk imager while burning Ubuntu image to flash drive. I use it to burn any OS in to flash drives, and he best thing is it's free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
