Ubuntu LiveUSB doesn't work!
« on: May 04, 2012, 05:20:54 PM »
Hi,
I was trying to boot Ubuntu from my USB.
First I went into the BIOS and changed the boot-priority to the USB,but then I always get the following:
Code: [Select]
vesamenu.c32: not a COM32R image
boot:
I don't know what's wrong or what I should enter...

add. info:
version: Ubuntu 10.4.4 desktop i386
installed on USB with: Universal USB Installer 1.8.8.9

So,what's wrong? the data on the USB? or is the laptop just not compatible? or something else?

What kind of computer? I highly doubt that it has anything to do with the computer being compatible. Do as Kulverstukas says and try the create the live usb again with UNetbootin. I also am a big fan of Linux Live USB Creator.

Although, when I used it to make a live usb with BT5 it wouldn't allow me to create it with persistence. That's when I had to use LiLi.

So that's how you made it persistent! I'll have to try that, don't want to do all that partitioning the flash drive and stuff.
