11.04 USB image does not run

[FrankTan]

i have an old PC with Pentium 4 3.0G processor. downloaded the latest 11.04 32-bit iso and run the USB installation tool to put it on a USB drive. the pc loads Ubuntu splash screen but plays a beep only on all the menu items. i have tried to build the USB drive several times all with the same results... any ideas? Thanks!

Hi it could be a corrupt iso file you downloaded.
Here is a link to a guide for md5 checksum (hash-checking)

Does the bios of the old PC have the option to boot from USB or just CD?

i was having trouble with the server iso and md5 checked out fine. i downloaded the desktop version and it worked. yes, the bios does support boot from USB hard drive. not sure what the fine differences are between the two packages. is there such limitation that the server iso will work on 'server' hardware?
