yeah, computer would not recognise USB data, but did recognise the NAME of the USB volume. Funny as it was a USB unetbootin install. looked up that link below and could not figure out what/where to attach, but just let you know I did work around the problem eventually by not using unetbootin, I used the facility on the cd ubuntu install on computer A to make a USB install unbuntu, took the USB disk to computer B (which has a functioning USB drive but not a functioning CD drive), asked the BIOS to install from USB (careful, there are two choices here, one does not work, one does) and rebooted and installed.
