Trying to boot from usb
Solution 1
On the USB key, rename the isolinux
folder to syslinux
.
In the same folder, rename the isolinux.bin
and isolinux.cfg
files to syslinux.bin
and syslinux.cfg
, respectively.
Now, try booting with the USB drive again.
Solution 2
The root cause to this system error is FAT32. I think your Bios cannot understand FAT32 file system. May be your system is old one. Format the USB with FAT16, or simply FAT file system and then create the usb bootable stick that will definitely work....

Boot failure : No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!I have similar issues but none with the 12.04 build.
Im trying this on a dell d610 laptop with a bad hard drive and was told i could just directly boot from the usb drive.
Im using an 8g usb drive and i have tried using the uui tool and get this message. SYSLINUX 4.06 EDD 4.06-pre1 Copyright (c) 1994-2011 H.Peter Anvinet al ERROR: No configuration file found No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!
Then i tried using unetbootin and got the bootup screen with only the default option and it would say auto boot with a 10 sec countdown and start over again.
I do have the boot sequence for usb first.

Eliah Kagan almost 12 yearsThere is no such thing as "simply FAT" as distinct from FAT16 or FAT32 (or some of the other less common FAT filesystems like exFAT). FAT by itself, when intended to refer to a specific filesystem, typically refers to FAT16.

and then followed the above steps. Worked for me. =) -
