Use unetbootin or the 1 2 3 app from pendrivelinux. Copying the ISO or extracting the ISO then copying the files WON'T work. Be sure to MD5 the ISO you downloaded

Depends whether you want to create the dongle from windows or from another copy of Ubuntu. Just copying the ISO to the dongle will NOT work.

If running Ubuntu then run usb-creator-gtk

Did you MD5 test the ISO?

yeah. I figured out what was wrong, too. older laptop, had to start with 8.04 then upgrade.... didn't like 4.01 kernel, but 3.(whatever it was) loaded just fine.
