As per your issue description, I could be wrong but I don't think the issue
relates to your usb stick or even the way you have set it up. Otherwise you
would not be able to boot at all through it or even see the Ubuntu logo.
When you launch the install, do you have any peripherals connected on your
machine?  You are running windows as well on your Toshiba ? Have a look at
this thread --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9201054
I remember that I had to upgrade the Bios on my Toshiba before actually
being able to install Ubuntu. The only difference is that I have completely
gotten rid of windows on my machine. The way I did it was to first  boot
with gparted and erase and reformat the whole HDD.

Kind Regards,

zongo,
