    Can't mount loop1 on /cow!

    Uh oh. I have Windows 7 on my Netbook, and thought I'd see how Ubuntu Remix works. I downloaded the CD image, installed it to a USB drive, and then stuck the USB drive into my netbook, booted off of it, and the installer gets stuck at
    Can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow
    . I have no idea what to do, so I tried Google, but Google didn't seem to help much either.

    So far, I've tried using 2 different USB drives (thus installed it onto USB drives twice) but both times I had the problem.

    EDIT: Got it. If you don't let Ubuntu write anything to the USB drive, it'll boot.

    Check this out (around the middle)

    The problem was solved by choosing "Discarded on shutdown..." option when creating the USB Startup Disk.

    Good Luck!!
