I followed all the instructions to create a bootable USB drive so I can try Ubuntu without actually installing it on my Windows 7 machine. Everything seemed to be going ok but now it appears to be "stuck" and I can't tell if it's doing anything or not. The extract window has been at 99% for 20 mins now and says it has 1 error - "cannot open outfile autorun.inf."
The universal USB installer window just says to be patient and the progress bar will not move until the installation is complete. My USB stick looks like it is just "Idling" and not trying to do anything. I see a bunch of Ubuntu files have been installed on it but I have no idea of its actually done or not since the progress bar is not moving. How much longer should I wait before I try to start over? Is there anything I can do to find out if the installation is actually still working or has it frozen up and I need to just start over? Should this be a 5-10 min job or is this something that takes hours to do?
