i have made a bootable pen drive (2gb) and have a 30gb partition on my hard drive for unbuntu

Im trying to try the OS by USB at the start into The BIOS If ya gets what i mean
It successfully loads The Options menu where you pick a choice like run from usb

So i run from usb and and it Loads Ubuntu just the purple background and the beans underneath it loading forever

The first thing I'd try is a md5sum which will determine if the something got corrupted along the way.

If the checksum is ok try using Unetbootin to get it running
