<br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
I am using a Dell Ispiron 530 with Ububtu 12.04 to creat the start up USB and following the directions at: <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...n/FromUSBStick</a><br>
<br>
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:<br>
<br>
An error ocured while loading the archive.<br>
<br>
Archive: /media/FF0B-3D95/wubi.exe<br>

a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the<br>
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on<br>
the last disk(s) of this archive.<br>
