I have just tryed to install Ubuntu 11.04 onto a USB to install on a netbook. I used the software recomended to prep the USB and booted to it.

In the opening menu where you can select to install on a partition I am unable to press enter, it seems to just reset the menu. The keyboard seems to be working fine because I can use the arrow keys.

I have been unable to find a solution to this problem online, all I have found is this simular issue, with no resolution.

The netbook I am using is the Samsung n220 which apparently works well with ubuntu.

Any help would be great, thanks in advanced.

Reformatting and installing the ubuntu install files still throws up the same problem.

If you used Startup Disk Creator to install to flash drive try UNetbootin and vice versa.

UNetbootin seems to have worked, I am now able to start the installation process. Thank you for your help.
