Are you trying to install the 32-bit or 64-bit version? The 64-bit version will not fit on a 4Gb USB stick without some rework of the image to shrink it's size.

Here is a pointer to the instructions to do what you want to do: Making USB Media. Just use your .iso instead whenever it talks about a Live image.

It could be your USB stick. A small percentage of them will not work due to hidden partitions.

Certainly, we will try and help you. You state that it is getting stuck on first step.

Can you be more specific about exactly what is happening? For example, what messages are displayed?
