I can't get Ubuntu to boot from a USB
I am trying to replace a windowsXP operating system on an Acer Aspire minilaptop.
I have downloaded Ubuntu onto a USB memory stick.
I have tried to boot from this but the laptop persists in booting Windows.
I have put USB first on the boot order using setup.
I have pushed F12 as it starts and it takes me to a menu and I have chosen USB, but it persists in booting windows.
Does the Ubuntu download need to be the only thing on the memory stick for this to work.
Thanks for any thoughts and advice.
