Boot Manager is missing.....
I have a blank laptop that im trying to install an OS onto. Im trying to run ubuntu 11.10 off a 2 gig thumb drive thats been converted as a bootable drive. when the laptop is turned on and it goes to load windows it tells me the boot manager is missing please press cntrl alt delete to restart. after setting the boot order through bios the system still does not recognize or pull up the thumb drive. The dvd drive on the lap top is a bit "wonky" for lack of a better word, it doesnt always read whats there which is why im trying to install from a thumb drive. anyone have any idea how i can at least get the boot manager issue cleared up so that the system will run from the thumb drive??? any help, information, or suggestions would be greatly apprecieted.
