I'm trying to install Ubuntu 13.10 on a Lenovo Thinkpad S540. I installed an ISO on a 2GB USB stick as per instructions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows. When I booted from the USB, it goes straight away to a grub> prompt, with no indication of any error. I disabled Secure Boot and Quick Boot in the BIOS, but the same thing occurs. Any ideas on how I can proceed?
Many thanks!

Just checked, and the ISO has the correct checksum.

The problem appeared to be a faulty USB stick -- on the fourth USB stick, I got further.
