Hello and thanks for participating in 'Launchpad Answers'.

Probably this is a problem either with BIOS / USB stick detection / or with the USB stick itself and how you have created it.

This problem seems has nothing to do with Ubuntu Operating System.

Please read the manufacturer documentation about USB stick detection or/and try to create the USB stick with another program.
A good program for creating a bootable USB stick, but it runs only under Windows (meaning you must find a PC with Windows installed in order to run this program), you can find in following link:

P.S. Don't forget to mark the question as [SOLVED], when done.

You will need an XP support forum.

XP is dead. I suggest you select a supported operating system

Can you help with this problem?
