hi, I used a windows utility to make a ubuntu usb. I was booted into it at the time, so I didn't use the ubuntu one.
I was not presented with the familiar boot screen I get normally but what bugs me most is the file structure. There are roughly 6 folders, and 6 files in the root of the drive.
Is this similar to what the ubuntu usb installer would have done? or would it be neater? (like \ubuntu\*.* or similar). I need the drive working to fix my friends computer, so hesitant to mess with anything thats working right now.. But if I used the ubuntu tool would it do what I want? -- would it also give me the default bootscreen (with the keymap, language, and other boot options)?
BTW, I'm using xbuntu v9.10 cd and my thumbdrive is sandisk cruzer 4gb
Thanks
Geo
