USB startup memory stick problems

[Hadeda]

I created a USB startup memory stick for 10.04 (startup disk creator option).

It works well with some (windows) computers, but others (also windows) give me 2 types of problems before the installation starts. USB is first boot device in BIOS :-)

1st type of error simply returns "boot error" on a black screen with white text.
2nd type of error returns also a black screen with: "SYSLINUX ..... Copyright H. Peter Anvin boot: "
I don't know what to enter after 'boot:' for it to work
It always returns: "Could not find Kernel Image: Linux"
It must exist. I use the stick to make installations on other (windows) computers.

Thanks 4 ur help!

I'm having the same problem with 10.10. Not sure what to do yet, but at least you're not alone

Yes, you are correct, PRC09, thanks.
I am a beginner and can't find a remedy in the report. Am I missing something?:oops:

I've noticed this problem is common with pre-release Ubuntus. It should be fixed eventually.

Not sure why it is happening with 10.04, this is the first time I've seen it reported.

Have downloaded latest version and am running all current updates. Created another boot stick: Same messages. No change. Can someone help please? Many thanks
