Sony Vaio BOOT ERROR

I have a Sony VAIO, with the following specs:

vpcf12m1e / h

Intel Core i5-520M 2.4 GHz

4 GB 1066 MHz

500 GB S-ATA

7200 RPM Blu-Ray Combo Drive

1920x1080 Monitor

NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M

1024 MB DDR3

Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit)

I tried to make UBUNTU 14.04 on two sticks, each time after restart, I get this error:

BOOT ERROR

I created the disk with:

Linux Live USB creator, UNetbootin-windows-585, Universal-USB-Installer-1.9. 5.3.

I tried versions from 12.04.4 through 14.04 and get the same error.

Format the stick with "FAT" (not FAT32) on Windows 7, then use UNetbootin to make the bootable stick.

When UNetbootin finished, look inside the stick and rename the folder "isolinux" to "syslinux" and inside the same, rename isolinux.bin and isolinux.cfg to syslinux.bin and syslinux.cfg.

Reboot.

Cheers
