I tried to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS using an HP Pendrive. I made the Pendrive bootable with the Universal USB Installer v1.8.9.7.
I was not able to boot from the Pendrive. Can you tell me why this is happening?

I am not sure why it doesn't work for you. But this one works simple UI. Easy to use http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
I would do the following to solve your problem:
I have had a problem where the boot MBR would not be written/created as a normal user.
Download and run unetbootin.exe
from this link. Then follow the steps shown in the screenshot below.
When UNetbootin processing completes, reboot your PC and change the BIOS Setting for the first boot device to "USB DRIVE".
Reboot again. You should now be able to run the Ubuntu installer.
Is it a USB 3 thumb drive and USB 3 port? I can't boot my laptop with a USB 3 drive in a USB 3 port but if I use a USB 2 drive it's fine. It seems that there are a lot of (hardwware firmware) problems with USB 3 right now. For some people a BIOS update will fix it, didn't for me though.
