Hi OLUGers,

Long time no post from me.

I'm trying to boot the latest Ubuntu (13.10) install image from a USB stick
on my desktop, and it just won't go.  I have verified this USB stick boots
on my work laptop, so I know the image is good.

On my desktop I'm able to get a BIOS menu to pick the device to boot to.

Here are all the options I'm given.
Floppy, LS120, Hard Disk, CDROM, ZIP, USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, USB-CDROM, USB-HDD,
Legacy LAN

I've tried everyone of the USB-* options, but it never boots up.

Any ideas?

Thanks for reading.
Eric P.
