Bug Description

I sometimes saw this boot error when trying to boot off live USB made by Startup Disk Creator.

Make live usb with Ubuntu 10.04 Usb-Creator and check it on this one old comp witch bios pics i posted doesnt work in one 2005 year comp if bios settings "USB Mass Storage emulation type" set "Auto".
Changing to "All fixed Disc" or "Size" works

USB made with Multisystem Multiboot WORKS no matter whats the bios setting. Multisystem- see it at http://liveusb.info/
Made with usb-creator doesnt. Gets this error.
Instead USB should work.

You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

"Doesn't work" is not a usable error description. What *does* happen when you try to boot from it?

Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) reached end-of-life on May 9, 2013.

An 11+ year old environment which no longer exists, and a report that was never confirmed by another user is not really of any use in modern day Ubuntu so I'm closing this as 'Invalid'.
