Linux Mint 10: Not able to find a medium containing the live file system

[laplapye]

I am Just Annoying to setup Linux Mint 10 RC on my VAIO P15G. Formatted a FAT32 USB drive, slapped it with Mint 10 RC iOS via UNetbootin. Plugged in to my Vaio, started again, goes to UNetbootin page. Pushed default, wait, Linux Mint 10 comes up, and after that this appears: “Not able to find a medium containing the live file system" I have goggled and read that it is something incorrect with the Ubuntu market release itself, just wondering if anybody has came across and handled to repair this trouble?

On a side note, I understand that occasionally my Linux won't boot and I have to put in Windows utilizing disk part the volume to active earlier than I can boot off the USB. I enclose an Ubuntu 10.10 VM on my desktop. I have attempted making from there and it didn't work, but I will attempt it now. The steps to format the USB drive are to make sure that it works?

Does the Mint USB setup need a partition on the hard drive just to boot into the Live CD surroundings? It does not make sense to me. I am only booting the Mint LiveCD surroundings, so there is no trouble with my hard drives right? Except the LiveCD unsuccessful to read my partition configuration which windows 7 has shaped. What can I do to modify the boot design of my Mint USB setup? I booted to the LiveCD, and setup it. Now my Vaio has a 30 GB Mint and 40 GB idle. While I have Windows 7 in my hard drive Mint Live USB no longer boots. I think it is improved to setup Windows primary after that Linux so I did not attempt installing Windows later than Mint.
