Msg. "Failed to install boot loader" when making Start up USB
Hello All
>
>
>When making Start up USB I got the message "Failed to install boot
loader". I am thinking this is why I have been unable to do an install
on my labtop. What do I need to do to make a working start up USB
stick?
>
>I am using a Dell Ispiron 530 with Ububtu 12.04 to creat the start up USB and following the directions at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...n/FromUSBStick
>
>When I looked at what got saved on the USB stick their are 9 folders, 3
sheet icons, and one icon with gears labled wubi.exe. I clicked on the
wubi.exe icon and the following came up in an "Archive Mannager" box:
>
>An error ocured while loading the archive.

>Archive: /media/FF0B-3D95/wubi.exe

>note: /media/FF0B-3D95/wubi.exe may be a plain executable, not an archive
>zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /media/FF0B-3D95/wubi.exe or
>/media/FF0B-3D95/wubi.exe.zip, and cannot find /media/FF0B-3D95/wubi.exe.ZIP, period.
