How to install Ubuntu 12.04 from USB flash?
The problem, in fact, is this:
I went through several distributions, including mint. When I try to boot from a flash drive, I get:
"SYSLINUX 4.06 EDD 4.06-pre1 Copyright © 1994-2011 H. Peter Anvin et al", a blinking cursor, and no keyboard response.
I also tried a lot of tools to create a bootable USB flash drive.
Note: Pavillion dv6-6030er.
Flash drive: Silicon Power 32Gb.
Who faced, help, please.
PS The drive is not working.

Mint was normally installed for me after creating a bootable USB flash drive using UNetBootIn, and Ubuntu (any) using the Universal USB Installer
Recently I made a bootable flash drive (Corsair Flash Voyager 4GB) according to the official guide. Got it on the first try. Maybe you have a problem with a flash drive, BIOS or hardware?
You can boot from the virtual machine as suggested to connect a USB flash drive there and do so
grub-install /dev/sdb1 --root-directory=/mnt
gedit /media/****/grub/grub.cfg
menuentry "ubuntu live-cd" {
loopback loop (hd0,0)/boot/ubuntu.iso
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/boot/ubuntu.iso
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}
Here is an article on how to install debian from a flash drive or Here's about ubuntu
Boot ubuntu from a Live CD (possible in a virtual machine). There is a native utility for creating a boot / installation flash drive. I succeeded only with her, nothing worked with the "tools".
um, maybe I forgot something, but it seems that you can write an image to a USB flash drive via UltraISO in usb-HDD + mode and it should work, but I could be wrong
I usually use this method. It works in 95% of cases (do not look at what ERD is talking about)

On my laptop there was a problem with large flash drives, it was written in the dock that it was necessary to use either a flash drive no more than 2 gigabytes, or 4 to boot, although in “normal mode” it also understands 32.
So try a smaller flash drive - maybe that's the thing.
I figured out how to put everything through the Windows Installer with the parameters D:\wubi.exe --force-wubi
Thank you all!
