hey you guys!

first of all, i'm sorry if i'm posting in the wrong section.

a couple of days ago i was introduced to linux live after having seen a lot of screenshots of linux, so i decided to try the pendrive installation of ubuntu 9.10.

i used this method: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-in-windows/

when i boot the usb-drive a nice menu comes up with the options "run linux persistently", "install ubuntu 9.10" (not relevant i think?) and the help/errorfinder functions. i choose run linux persistently and then it starts loading in the form of the ubuntu logo which glows, very long... about 5 minutes i think (is that normal?) and after that i get the following errors:

also when i hit enter when selecting from what device to boot in the boot menu, some error messages flash by but they're going to fast to read any of it... it only says error to me... ;p

anybody any clue how to get me back on the road to ubuntu again? :D

thanks in advance!

Try unetbootin (http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/) or the USB Creator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Live_USB_creator) on the Live CD.
