Alright, sorry if this was already answered. The questions that appeared for this one didn't answer mine.

I have a PC with:

  • Windows 7 Professional
  • AMD II x 2 B24 clocked at 3.0Ghz
  • ATI Radeon HD 4200 ( I'm upgrading it. )
  • 8GB RAM
  • Does not support UEFI

I downloaded Ubuntu, used Unetbootin to extract the .iso files onto my 16GB SanDisk Cruzer USB, restarted my PC and pressed F9 for the BIOS Boot Menu, selected USB Device and it just booted to Windows. (USB device was plugged in!)

I restarted my PC again and entered the BIOS Setup and ensured that the USB booted first.

Still nothing. I formatted my USB and used another PenDrive extractor, the one Ubuntu recommended, and still nothing.

What am I doing wrong here?

  • Welcome to AskUbuntu! ;-) Could you please give us a bit more information like: Does your PC support UEFI? Do you see any error message? How much RAM do you have? Please edit your question and add this information...

unetbootin has been broken for a while, the best way to create the USB now is to create it using Win32diskimager, the install process should then work.
