Hello,
I'm trying to make a startup USB stick to install 12.10 (gnome-remix) on my machines, but can't make it work. The situation is that I have two computers (AMD64-bit desktop and Intel 32-bit laptop), both running 12.04. I also have two USB memory sticks (2Gb and 16Gb). I have downloaded the ISO's for both 32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu 12.10, and have tried making bootable USB sticks with startup disk creator. However, although I have tried each combination of USB stick, computer and ISO, I always get the error "Checksum does not match, try again?" I've removed usb-creator-gtk and re-installed it and that made no difference. Running usb-creator-gtk from the terminal produces no errors until the checksum error window pops up. I have tried formatting the USB sticks as FAT-16 bit and FAT-32bit, and tried formatting the larger stick down to 2Gb. Some internet posts suggest that problems can occur when you format the USB stick to have a persistant file but I have tried setting it such that there is no such a file and it makes no difference either.
The checksum for the files I have is the same as that posted on the Ubuntu website.
I have also tried using Unetbootin on the desktop machine and, while that appears to work, booting from the USB stick produces a list of errors and the installation halts.
If anyone has any suggestions then I'd love to hear them. I have tried every possible combination and have met with no success.
Sorry this post is so negative in tone. I've spent a lot of time on this and am stuck for more options!
All help welcomed - thanks!
Oli.
