I want to try Kubuntu 15.10 and that is why I have created a live USB of the kubuntu 15.10 iso through UNetBootin.

I have used the same pen drive to install my present OS (Lubuntu 15.10) and had live Ubuntu 15.10 installed just before I formatted it to install Kubuntu 15.10.

The same pen drive with Kubuntu 15.10 boots from USB on my HP envy m6 laptop.

On the other hand my Samsung rf-511 laptop has booted all OS'es apart from Kubuntu 15.10.

So I am not exactly able to pinpoint where the problem lies.

For info, my pen drive has been formatted in FAT 16 version.

Any help is appreciated.

The quote below from the unetbootin site, might try that.


Select an ISO file or a distribution to download, select a target drive (USB Drive or Hard Disk), then reboot once done. If your USB drive doesn't show up, reformat it as FAT32
