I have dual-boot system. Now, I want to erase all packages and all home's files on my Kubuntu, i.e I need 100% clean system. I decided to make a bootable usb-stick. I tried to boot from it, got GRUB-menu with 3 options (1.Start Kubuntu 2.bla-bla(for manufactures) 3.Check for defects). I choosed first one. Then I'm getting kubuntu logo hanging for infinite time. I've done this before, why I can't do this now? BTW, all 2 OSes (Kubuntu and Windows) are working, so I can use them.

And I wanna ask - is there an option to do it with installer from desktop or whatever, but without booting from usb? If not, how I can fix problem booting from usb?

Seems to me I've run into that problem with a bad USB write from a good file -- unetbootin sometimes changes an ISO in a way that prevents it from booting successfully; dd makes a faithful copy that, in my experience, always works. It's also possible for a damaged partition to cause this kind of failure; recreating the partition table on the flash drive usually corrects that problem. If the MD5 is good, those are the two things to look for.
