Try Unetbootin ,select the appropriate installer file based on your Current OS and also verify the md5sum of ISO before using it.
A suggestion , see screenshot
- Don't select the first option
Distribution, because it does not lists the current Ubuntu Precise Pangolin 12.04 edition. So rather , - Select the
Diskimageoption , then Browse to the location of the Ubuntu ISO image from the....button. - IMPORTANT option , select the
TypeandDriveOption Very Carefully to avoid data loss . If it is Usb Drive , most probably will be sdbX , sdcX, do a cross check and Proceed withOKoption.
