[13:56] <reya276> Morning Everyone; Happy New Year to all!
[14:02] <DammitJim> Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone!
[16:14] <reya276> Hey maybe one of you guys can help me out with this issue I'm having. I'm trying to create a Startup USB disk to install Ubuntu on a persons Laptop(first 2011 Ubuntu install!) but I can't seem to be able to select it and create it.
[16:15] <reya276> the US is formated as an EXT4 right now.
[16:15] <reya276> *USB drive
[16:21] <reya276> bah never mind I'll use a CD, thanks
[17:49] <zoopster> reya276: under disk to use...you cannot select the drive?
[17:51] <reya276> no I can select it but for some reason the "Make Startup Disk" is not enabled thus I can't create the USB startup
[18:17] <maxolasersquad> reya276: I seem to recall having that same problem.  I'm trying to brainstorm on what the solution was.
[18:17] <maxolasersquad> I think I had to let the GUI reformat my desk, by clicking "Erase Disk" and taking it from there.
[18:46] <itnet7> maxolasersquad: that is exaclt what I did with one of my usb sticks and it worked
[18:46] <itnet7> Happy New Year everyone!!
[18:47] <itnet7> s/exaclt/exactly/
