I've been struggling with it for about 7-8 hours so I turn here.
I got a HP Mini 1150nr netbook and want to get the full 10.10 instsalled (not the netbook remix). So I've been trying to create the USB Install key (I have a 1GB one)
At first, I tried using my desktop and laptop's Startup Disk Creator (usb-creator-gtk). It starts erroring it up when I tried erasing data. So I use GParted to get FAT32. But then when I go back to USB-Creator-gtk to create a startup key, it errors up at 99% saying cannot install bootloader.
Also in Gparted, I tried adding 'boot' flag to get the key to boot when selected at BIOS. No luck.
So I turned to Windows and tried using UNetbootin and Universal USB Program. I create the USB keys in FAT32 (default) but then it doesn't seem to have any bootloader although the Windows programs do not show any error about it.
So for three computers I tried my USB stick, it's skipping through the USB Key.
I'm thinking about adding Windows' "boot.ini" but I'm not sure what to change there.
Any suggestions? Solutions?
Thanks so much!
