    The minimal ISO is a network install cd image that you can use to install Ubuntu but instead of installing all of the packages from the cd image it downloads them and then installs them. I thought if you could put that on your USB stick the same way you did the full ISO image we could see if it would boot. Then if it does boot it rules out the USB stick.

    Another thing you could try is to use UNetbootin.

    UNetbootin - Homepage and Downloads

    Installation instructions are all on that page. If you need any help with any of it just ask.:)

    BUT... the ISO itself itself isn't bootable. You will need to extract the files from within the ISO. 7-Zip can be used to extract files from an ISO.

    Not by itself no but you can boot from ISO files using boot loaders like grub4dos. Thats where programs like LinuxLive USB Creator and UNetbootin come in. they automatically extract the files from the iso image to a usb stick and installs a boot loader to the usb stick to boot it.:)
