In another machine it worked by changing BIOS settings for USB emulation type.Also try changing other settings for the USB drive in the BIOS.It *may* work. -- Srihari K -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Re: [ubuntu-in] installing ubuntu from pen drive
I have been using the USB drive as a preferred option to install / test run a linux distro. I only use unetbootin for this. And have never faced a problem like this. To resolve this: 1. Make sure the md5sum of the iso is matching the official one. 2. Make sure the Kingston is marked with boot-able flag. 3. If this is already true then try reinstalling the OS on the Penfrive with unetbootin. 4. Lastly, i am assuming that the computer BIOS allows USB booting. Some systems dont.

Re: [ubuntu-in] installing ubuntu
First a few Q's: Are you run the Live Cd and boot to a Live session? Were you able to at all install ANY Linux, either direct or in VM? Are you booting off a CD or USB? The hardware is fine and capable to run any Linux. If you are booting from a CD, its possible that the CD is faulty or the CD drive is faulty. I have a CD drive that writes CD's fine, but the CD's wont boot (get I/O erro. Other data it writes fine. So the problem can be the media (CD?USB) or the drive(CD drive). Once you revert with a few more details I am sure more people will chip in.

Re: [ubuntu-in] installing ubuntu
Sir, you will find better suggestions from the group. nevertheless - ideal situation is to use the 10.04 / jaunty, and boot as LIVE CD. if that works then the problem's area will be limited, which the group members can throw more light on this. s.sivakumar -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

So' can anybody help what to do? Is this machine is capatible to run with ubuntu linux ? or the mice or key board are compatible. please suggest configuration of machine is intelcore 2duo E4300 processor(2MB L2 cache,1.8ghz,800mhz fsb,dualcore) intel945gc chipset 1GB PC2-4200 DDR2 compaq home professional keyboard , PS/2 scroll mouse 160GB sata hard drive intel sraphics media accelerator 950,DVMT 3.0 - upto 128mb OS free dos preinstalled but, currently running with MS WINDOWS XP professional SP3.
