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 clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I am using a Dell Ispiron 530 with Ububtu 12.04 to creat the start up USB and following the directions at: <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...n/FromUSBStick</a><br clear="none">

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 clear="none">

An error ocured while loading the archive.<br clear="none">
