All right Linux (Ubuntu) masters, can you help me start up? I’m having some major problems.?

All right, here’s my situation. I have an Asus Eee PC which does not have a CD drive, so I used an Ubuntu live CD on a different computer, and then installed live onto the flash drive. My computer starts to boot from the flash drive. I can choose my language, and I can choose if I want to try Ubuntu, install it, check for defects, etc. For those 3, I end up with the same error, and the screen looks like this:

Loading, please wait. . .

BusyBox v1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1 : 1. 10.2-1ubuntu6) built-in shell (ash)
Enter ‘help’ for a list of built-in commands.

… I’m not very good with computers and all of the things when I search for this online involve people talking about putting in code and such… I have no idea where to put such code, lol.
The other computer that I have access to can not boot from a USB drive, so I can’t test that… D:
