I can't get Ubuntu to boot from a flash drive. I tried making a bootable flash drive with the guide here http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (also where I downloaded my ubuntu iso)
That didn't work when I restarted my computer, so I tried this method http://www.techspot.com/guides/274-run- ... ash-drive/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Ubuntu booted from the cd, but it still won't boot from the flash drive. I set my bios to boot from "removable device" first. I'm able to boot dos from a flash drive, so I don't know what's wrong. Any ideas?
Thanks.
edit: oddly enough it boots linux from the flash drive when the hard drive is unplugged. Guess that solves it.

Re: Ubuntu 10.04 won't boot from usb drive
Try the program unetbootin it has options for Linux distros.
If that still doesn't work. You might have to try a different USB drive. Some just don't work for booting OS off of. This is the best site I could find for a list of what flash drives will work for booting.
Let us know how things work out.

You need more RAM
Make sure your PC meets the System Requirements...
