Ubuntu USB boot not working
I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04. I put it on an USB stick because my netbook does not have an optical drive and when I put it in it boots right back to Windows. I set it to boot to USB and I do not know if I need to download any additional software for it to be seen.

so you did download universal usb installer? - and then what is your problem exactly? - at step 1 you should almost 100% see ubuntu versions - because it is only to specify wich version of ubuntu you downloaded and going to mount. and the other steps should not raise an issue neither. please specify
