Thanks for commenting, Andrew.

I assume you are getting the message "Boot Error", and nothing else,
when you try to boot from the usb stick after you have used usb-creator
to format and copy the kubuntu image.

What model computer is being problematic? What BIOS does it use?

Some models have BIOS's that only boot sticks that are in USB-ZIP
format. Might you have one of those?

Can you list the geometry of that your system thinks the stick has by
using cfdisk? Don't go any further with it--the top line should list the
geometry.
