The HP Pavilion g6 notebook is unable to boot from bootable USB stick created with Linux Live USB Creator. I was able to boot other systems using the same pendrive.

I have changed the boot priority using F10. When I restarted, it didn't ask for any message like

Press any key to boot from

When I press F19, and selected the pendrive from the available options to boot from, while restarting it gives me a message:

error while trying to boot selected boot image

Though I looked into the possible suggestions here, none of them worked. Looking for any help?

EDIT: I was able to fix the first issue, i'e ubuntu could be installed as secure boot option in the bios was not allowing the pendrive or cd/dvd to be detected. Now once i have successfully installed ubuntu 12.04, after the restart i was unable to find it in the os menu for selection and windows8 loaded by default

Ubuntu version: 12.04
