See Installing Ubuntu on a Pre-Installed Windows 8 (64-bit) System (UEFI Supported). There are some BIOS settings that have been known to interfere with booting from a USB drive on computers the came with Windows 8 preinstalled. They are: Secure Boot, Quick Boot/Fast Boot, Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT) and Fast Startup.
UNetbootin does not support Windows 8. That is why you got the following error message:
```
[     6.592492] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] No Caching mode page found
[     6.592493] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through  
_  
```
Update: UNetbootin has been updated and currently supports both Windows 8 and Windows 10.

At the official Ubuntu webpage: How to create a bootable USB stick on Windows you will find step-by-step illustrated instructions for creating a bootable USB stick on Windows including Windows 8. The recommended program in this tutorial is Rufus which supports Windows 8 and Windows 10, and that is why Rufus is recommended by the official Ubuntu website to create a bootable USB stick on Windows, even though the UNetbootin program is an Ubuntu program that is in the Ubuntu Software Center.

The minimal requirements for making a bootable USB stick with Rufus are a USB stick that has at least 2GB available space, and for Ubuntu 18.04 and later a USB stick that has at least 4GB available space.

I have the same problem with pendrivelinux .... :/ – Rémi Boulardot Apr 20 '15 at 18:58 — Rémi Boulardot, Apr 20 '15 at 18:58

I don't understand French, but Unetbootin appears to be failing. Am I right? I'd recommend using Rufus to burn the ISO to a flash drive. It's worked perfectly for me.

I would try the option. "Try Ubuntu without installing" them inside that you can see if it works and install Ubuntu in a cleaner interface.

Or I would try Pen drive Linux http://www.pendrivelinux.com

Though I usually recommend unetbootin.

Try make another bootable USB on another computer, maybe, for some reason there is a fault with your particular PC's way to make it? – Apad121 Apr 19 '15 at 22:20
