Trouble with a Thumb Drive

[yakove]

Ok, I am having an issue using the "Create A USB startup disk". here is what I have done
I have a Kingston 2GB DataTraveler.
1. I have successfully installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my system
2. I have Used the "Create a USB startup" utility
3. while using said utility, I used the Install disk to create the image
and the program says it was successfully done.
4. I also had that program format the drive for me.
5. when rebooting and attempting to go into the USB drive. It leaves me with a command line "Boot:". No matter what I type in this command prompt, It throws back "Can not find Kernel." This happens on both of my computers.
6. I have basically followed this websites instructions to the "T"
