Hello all

I'm trying to run Ubuntu in my 4GB Sandisk Cruzer and it just won't work. I'm following the instructions showed in the Ubuntu Download page and nothing. I plug the usb stick, and restart the laptop (after configuring the boot menu) and I just got a black screen with the "boot error" text. I have tried Ubuntu 64bits, Ubuntu 32 bits and even Fedora 14. I think there might be a trick hidden in the VAIO config that won't let me run linux on a live USB but just can't find it. I have tried different live usb creators like "Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.3.4" recommended in the ubuntu web page and "usubuntu Live creator" and the one for Fedora.

Any idea?
