This works when you copy to an internal disk and use that. But not sure how you can do it with a usb disk. Maybe the guides at pendrives can help you.

I just recommend not trying to INSTALL ubuntu from a 1GB flash drive. It robs about 300MB of your flash drive with invisible space but can easily be formatted back to normal on a windows machine.
