[ubuntu-in] installing ubuntu from pen drive

[Narendra Diwate]

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.
