[clug-talk] Can not do an install since will not recognize my USB

[Jesse Kline]

Hit escape at the bios screen. This should give you a list of available
startup drives. It will likely not be called Kingston, but rather something
like USB card reader. Either way, you can try the various options and see if
any of them work. If you are able to select it, but it is still not booting
up properly, you may have written the data to the drive improperly. Try
following the instructions at

I had problems using usb-creator, which shipped with the last version of
Ubuntu, but usb-imagewriter worked as expected.
