Ubuntu Server install via USB. No Install option, only Test Memory and Rescue

I have created a USB Install drive based on ubuntu-13.10-server-amd64.iso using Universal USB Installer v1.9.4.8.
When I boot from the USB drive after selecting my language, I do not get the option to Install Ubuntu Server. I only get the following options:

Test Memory

Boot from first hard disk

Rescue a broken system

If I burn the iso to a CD and boot via an external USB CD drive the following menu options are available:

Install Ubuntu Server

Multiple server Install with MAAAS

Check disk for defects

Test Memory

Boot from first hard disk

Rescue a broken system

Is this a problem with the Ubuntu Server .iso file or with Universal USB Installer?

My motherboard is an ASROCK Z87 Extreme6 in case it's an issue with my chipset.

I've just experienced the same exact issue. I also used ubuntu-13.10-server-amd64.iso and Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.4.8.exe. I'm using a 1GB flash drive that also worked fine with the ubuntu-13.10-desktop-i386.iso installer.

Turns out UUI 1.9.4.9 was released on 20-Nov-2013, with "Fix broken Ubuntu Server options." in the changelog, so that answers your question of where the problem lies. I just downloaded Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.0.exe and it worked like a charm.
