Having trouble installing Ubuntu via USB
![Revolution_Soup](https://icrontic.com/uploads/userpics/159/nAX20FCJZJ2QE.gif)
I am attempting to install Ubuntu on my friend's HP Mini netbook. I used Universal USB Installer to make a bootable USB of Ubuntu 13.10.
I boot from USB and it shows the Ubuntu boot screen. I select "Install Ubuntu on a Hard Disk." It then unpacks some things and then shows the Ubuntu logo on a loading screen.
After the loading screen is where I get the error:
I'm not sure how to fix this. The only thing I can think of would be an issue with the hard drive, but when I remove the bootable USB the computer loads Windows 7 Starter Edition normally. Maybe the Ubuntu installer on the USB drive isn't seeing the hard drive in the netbook, but I don't know what would cause this or how I can remedy it. Any thoughts?

Failing that, try making the bootable USB a different way. I've used the Linux Live USB Creator a lot and it's worked almost every time.
After switching some settings in BIOS it did load up but I lost keyboard and mouse connectivity. I gave up after that point
I think the image to usb writer that worked for me was actually Linux Live USB Creator
Other options that I've tried but had the same error results were:
Universial USB (Pendrivelinux)
UNetbootin
