I used my desktop computer to create a bootable usb drive on a 8gb flash drive. I placed the usb in my laptop, which has no current OS, and I received the following error:

syslinux 4.06 EDD 4.06-pre1 Copyright (C) 1994-2011 H. Peter Anvin et al EDD: Error 0100 reading sector 536872960

What is going on and what do I do now?

First thing to do is make sure that you format your USB stick with a FAT32.

Download Ubuntu 32bit or 64bit

Download UnetBootin. UNetbootin allows for the installation of various Linux/Ubuntu distributions to a partition or USB drive, so you don't need a CD. Its available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.
