I'll try to contact source of ISO to see if Ubuntu will officially work with it. That would somwhat explain why I am getting 'hippo ISO' - which is definitely 'Ubuntu' frinedly and was used before. I want to try Ubuntu 11. It will help you in your journey of discovery with Linux. Using it will allow you to preserve any data you have in the USB drive.
I did not want to advertiser the download - but you have a point - if it is 'ubuntu' friendly. How do I install Ubuntu to a USB key (without using Startup Disk Creator) Asked 12 years, 6 months ago Modified 1 month ago Viewed 303k times 189 If you are hurrying to reply, System Administration StartUp Disk Creator - no, thats not what Im talking about. LinuxLive USB Creator is a free and open-source software for Windows. UNetbootin is a graphical, bootable USB image creator. What are you using to make the bootable USB stick? Make sure usb-creator-gtk is installed which you can get through the synaptic package manager - you have to open the creator first so the program can see the file - (it does look at the Downloads folder by default but it can be changed by clicking the 'Other' button) - If it does not see it then the ISO is not compatible with the Startup Disk Creator - in other words it maybe a bad download - the ISO must be Ubuntu compliant before the ISO will load in the USB Creator.
