I have a netbook with 8.1 on it. I downloaded 10.04 for netbooks and created a bootable USB drive as per the instruction on the sowload site, with my new iso image for 10.04. Set the boot sequence to look at the USB flash drive first.
When booting the netbook, first line says: Pen Drive without operating system. Remove pen drive and reboot. GRUB loading stage 1.5.
It then boots from the hdd.
On my desktop I then get a message saying installation failed and that I should look at the USB log file. The file's contents look like this:

Any ideas please?
