Used UnetBootin to create it on the flash drive. Tells me to reboot, after rebooting, I press DEL key to enter the BIOS. I set the boot priority to my USB. I press F10 and it saves it and reboots. After that Windows boots like normal.
I have also tried LinuxLive USB Creator but it still failed.
Maybe a Ubuntu Computer can help me? If it can help, please tell me as I have access to a local Cafe that has Ubuntu installed on their PC.
I personally haven't used UnetBootin, I use http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ to make bootable live USBs and it works well for me. You can use YUMI or UUI with your .iso file and try that.
Also try to go in to Boot Options instead of BIOS setup to find your USB manually.
Not sure which image you used to install but for other finding this post: The minimal netboot install image (mini.iso) is not able to boot in EFI mode (at least on some bioses). I used the startup disk creator when testing.
It boots fine in legacy mode (and worse - my bios automatically retries in legacy mode..)
Protip: Always check if you're in efi mode (ls /sys/firmware | grep efi) before wasting time installing
This post has a workaround: https://www.onetransistor.eu/2015/12/install-ubuntu-minimal-cd-uefi-enabled.html?showComment=1580553249108#c2253167695859258494
Not sure where to find a non-netboot minimal install image?
First try without relying on boot order. Some (older) BIOS only expect to find a floppy drive or hard drive as a boot source. Interrupt the boot sequence and force "choose" (often F9) for the boot device.
Find someone with a recent version of Ubuntu on their PC.
Ask them to create a USB boot-disk for you.
unetbootin did not work properly for me also, so I use the default " startup disk creator" this works fine on ubuntu
If you are on windows try this:"universalusbinstaller" this one also works.
Boot for pendrive(different for every bios), then start installation and it is as simple as that.
I think there may be some confusion about your post. When you say, it tells you to reboot, do you mean after installation?
Using any kind of pen drive, after setting it up to be bootable and with the ubuntu on it, what you are doing is turning it on and hoping it will go directly to the pen drive, and you would see a purple screen and then have an option to install or try ubuntu.
It might be helpful if you explained more, I have a feeling there is more to this story.
Are you not able to:
successfully make the startup pen drive successfully boot into the pen drive, or other?
If you are on windows try ultraiso. Open the iso image in ultraiso. Click Tools->Write disk image. Select usb drive name. Go. After completion try booting from usb drive.
Maybe this can help, probably the installed bootloader doesn't recognize the filesystem of your pendrive.
