I have tried this solution and cannot get the Startup Disk Creator to recognise my iso.

Does anybody have any other suggestions?

Search google for "Linux Live USB Creator". Download that latest Ubuntu iso from their website, and don't rename it. Disconnect your computer from the internet, and turn off any antivirus or firewall programs. They just interfere. Or, if your paranoid, run it in a VM like VirtualBox. It changes a few thing that (usually) ends up with a persistent USB that boots straight to the desktop. I got this to work once. Search google for “Linux Live USB Creator”.

Changes will now be saved to that partition. Works like a charm! (Don't forget to delete the casper-rw file, or this will not work.) I've never tried ext3 or ext4, but they would probably work to.

It should work for a FAT32 drive, though, I had a similar problem. It's probably your computer. Go to www.plop.at, and download their boot manager. It can be put on a CD or floppy, and it works very well! I got a portable USB Ubuntu to work on a old 98 Gateway. Read around the site a bit. I’ve spent many hours messing with this stuff.
