TommyTea,

Firstly, to get Ubuntu on a flash drive (usb stick, sd card etc) see the following Ubuntu community doc:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick

Everything you need to know regarding fixing the Ubuntu 8.10 installation can be found here (See roughly half way down):
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HP2133

I do not own one of these devices so I cannot provide much more support. Hopefully this helps.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask TommyTea for more information if necessary.
