So I want to switch from Linux Mint 15 to Ubuntu 12.10. I used UNetBootin to create the usb. I have Linux Mint 15, and am trying to get Ubuntu to load from the usb. But when I restart my computer it says "Boot Error." I haven't tested it on another computer yet. Any ideas?

-EDIT: What I expected to happen was Ubuntu would boot up instead of giving the "Boot Error" message. What I did was just formatting and formatting over and over again due to it saying the same thing(Boot Error). I'm using a Kingston 4GB usb drive. I also tried a 16GB drive but I don't know the name.

I've not had good luck with unetbootin recently either. You might try dd from the command:

sudo dd if=/path/to/file.iso of=/dev/sdb

dd will wipe the 'output file' with great efficiency, so don't mess up and point it at the wrong destination. You'll want to make sure you're target USB is /dev/sbd.
