arrrgghhhh wtf. i built then newest comp i have laying around. intel8400@3 gig, 8 gig 1033, gigabyte ga-ep45-ud3p, 160gig 7200rpm, i have a 7770 and a 5770 for it. got ubunto 13.10 (read it works with bionic) slapped it on a usb stick and...........nothing. changed bios settings and......nothing. changed again after reading and ........nothing. wtf. wth am i missing to install the os from a usb drive? (and no i havent made a cd or dvd in over 2 years) so creating a disk is out. i had all the bios setting to boot from the usb even. tryed in iso format and i even removed it. and nothing. argh this is frustrating.

and yes first time working with linux

Yeah, sorry I missed this thread but glad you found a solution.
Out of curiosity, did you use one of the utilities from PenDriveLinux?

actually linuxlive usb creator 2.8.27. this takes linux u want to install and sets the usb up completely. like it was a install disk

and wow thanks for that link. i will have to try that out
