Ubuntu:: 'SYSLINUX 4.03 2010-10-22 EDD Load Error - Boot Error' Mar 22, 2011. I'm attempting to install ubuntu netbook on my Asus Netbook from a USB and I'm getting.

I knew somebody would emerge and explain the s/he never had a problem. The point is: yes, depending on the version of your Bootable-USB-Creator and the version of the ISO you try to put on your USB stick it may work. But there are more than enough examples where it does not work for the Debian installer ISOs. This has been discussed time again and again, not only here but mainly in the Debian mailinglists. This is why there is a clear and visible warning against using such tools because it may lead to strange behavior and problems.

I was having this same issue trying to install Ubuntu on my 2008 HP laptop. Make sure USB is formatted FAT32 or NTFS first. I actually tried both with no success.

I also tried a few different Linux distros and multiple Linux USB creators. All gave me the same message on boot.

After tinkering with the BIOS and boot order, I finally gave up and decided to blame HP, since all the boot USBs I made worked fine on my desktop pc. I finally decided to burn the ISO to a DVD and try to boot from my external USB cd/DVD drive and everything worked fine!
