“Error Loading Operating system” when booting from usb to install 12.10 64bit
I have just built a new computer I've never installed Linux on a computer before.
booting from my usb come up with "error loading operating system". I am trying to install it on my new 64gb SSD, it has nothing on it. looked through some of the previous forums but most of theirs have been because they have already got windows already installed on it.
Could someone please help?

What tool did you use to make the USB key, that didn't warn you about the NTFS filesystem?

First you have to make you USB bootable with UNetbootin and then in your BIOS set boot priority to boot first from your USB. Then it should work fine. After you install Ubuntu, remove your USB and pc should boot into the Ubuntu installed on your drive.

My housemate suggested I try it in FAT32 format instead of NTFS and it worked right away
