Hi, I tend to use pendrivelinux stuff (just a personal choice)

Try over here --> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-in-windows/


Unetbootin is recommended by many .. --> http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ So, I'm not sure why you are having a problem - I'm sorry, but I have no experience with unetbootin.

Try the pendrive one & see how you get on.

JMHO

Regards,

Phill.

It could be a bad burn of the .iso, or it could be a bad .iso. Check the md5sum of the .iso, and if that checks, try another burn to the USB drive, using the slowest speed you can tolerate.
