hey all,

Yesterday, i installed ubuntu 10.04 on my 16GB flash drive according to this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSHB8-dBI2w&feature=plcp

the installation went good with no errors, but when i rebooted my computer, wanted to load my new ubuntu from the usb i got an error, something with "initramfs". I added a screen shot of the error. Can someone please help me and tell me step by step what to do?

Thanks.

Welcome to the forums!

It would be helpful if you can rephrase your question in such a way that we don't have to watch a Youtube video to understand your question.

Generally speaking, I do not recommend that users follow how-to's/tutorials from random websites or Youtube videos. The best source for reliable information is the ubuntu.com website. Here are reliable instructions how to run Ubuntu from a USB thumb drive: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
