Hi everyone! Here is my problem: I`ve just downloaded an ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso and tried to make a bootable usb flash using Unetbootin. But what I get when I try to boot with it is the "bootmgr missing" note. What am I doing wrong?

Did you just copy the iso on to the drive? If so, it will not boot that way. You need to used software to burn the image, not copy it.

I wrote that I used Unetbootin. Worked fine with previous versions =)

Well, somehow it was solved by using a Linux version of Unetbootin instead of a Windows one. Still can`t understand what happened.
