Hello!
I have downloaded the 10.04 desktop image of ubuntu & installed/unpacked it with Universal USB installer as it sujest on the official site onto my Sandisk 4gb usb flash drive.
And now when i restart it doesnt boot...i've tried already setting bios to USB-FDD & USB-HDD as my primary boot device but still it just loads into windows....and btw in windows it reads the drive ... that means that the usb port is working correctly...so what is my problem?
Or maybe I should install it on the usb using some other way...?
its 32bit

Try running the HP Drive Key Boot Utility on it (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?swItem=MTX-UNITY-I23839)

On my computer I discovered by accident that none of the USB boot choices boot a USB flash drive but if I choose which hard drive to boot the USB flash drive is listed under hard drives.
