Did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
How did you put the iSO on the USB device?

i checked it and it is not the same. i will try downloading some other versions
but if that fails???
i used Universal-USB-Installer-v1.6.6.exe so i did not put it on the usb, i use the iso file from desktop

If the MD5 sum of the ISO you download does not match it needs redownloading. I suggest you use torrents as the torrent protocol adds extra verifications.

For 64bit CPU:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent

For 32bit CPU:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent

You will need a torrent client installed on your system (like bitlord for windows etc) to use these links.

Can you help with this problem?
