Can't boot from USB

Post by mint0099 »

Can someone help? I tried to install Mint from a USB stick but it won't boot. I can run it from the USB stick inside VirtualBox, but when i select to boot from the USB in the bios it doesn't work. I tried Mint 11 first, then 10, and i've tried making it bootable with 3 different programs. LiLi USB Creator, unetbootin and Universal-USB-Installer. The same thing happens every time.

Try with another USB pen if possible.
