I have downloaded 32bit Ubuntu and installed it onto a stick using pendrivelinux. The computer I am trying to install Linux on refuses to boot from the USB. What I did next was to USB the hard drive and let pendrive linux install directly to it with a format first. That did not work so now I am left at the boot screen with the following messages.

I pressed enter and get the following

No matter what I did my compaq evo510s would not accept USB as a bootable drive it kept saying it was invalid media. I eventually did get Ubuntu installed on it by using another computer to do it.

I connected the Compaq's hard drive to another machine (one already running Ubuntu installed from USB), booted the USB and installed to the Compaq's drive. I replaced the HDD and now the Compaq is running Ubuntu!
