USB install will not work with i386 or amd64 iso

Question

Having trouble installing ubuntu. I downloaded the 12.04.3 desktop i386 iso image, used the universal installer to put it on a USB drive (the netbook does not have a CD drive). netbook- acer aspire one with amd arm c-60 processor 1mhz with 4GB ram.

I changed the boot order to USB and I get:

_ and cursor flashing but you cant write anything, no buttons work you have to do a hard shutdown to leave.

I tried the same procedure with the amd64 iso and get same results.

why did it not boot?

Ok, either you install using Wubi (not recommended) or using the bootable USB and install Ubuntu in its own partition. Check How do I install Ubuntu — Braiam, Sep 27 '13 at 01:18

You have two good choices:

Create a Bootable USB stick with Ubuntu [1,2]
Get a Bootable External DVD drive with USB Connector and use the Live DVD.
