your going to need to make a bootloader on said usb device, then copy iso contents over. perhaps this will put you in the correct direction.

Here you go, everything is in the show and shownotes.

I have Grub on my usb and many floppy images and cd rips.

You are missing the menu.lst file.

Example:

title SpinRite 6.0

Okay here.

http://mirrors.gigenet.com/ubuntu/ja...sktop-i386.iso

Download the .iso.

Burn it to a CD.

Boot into the CD and you should see your "Try before installing"

I think you may have downloaded the "Alternative CD" instead of the regular one.

It would be easier if you burned a livecd and then used the utility that is included in Ubuntu to make the live flash drive automatically for you.
