recovery file wont open

[karvanapperi]

I have Asus eee pc and because the win7 starter is working real slow i am changing to ubuntu netbook remix. i Read from forums it is the best ubuntu for weak minilaptop. Anyways, to be able to run ubuntu on this, i need to make my usb bootable. I was following one manual to make it, but then i need access to the recovery file. I've tried everything i know, but it will not let me open it. says its unavailable and I dont have permission to open it. Is there any way to fool the pc to let me open it? and if not, how i can make my usb bootable.

actually i need it for 2 things. to make ubuntu usb bootable, and in case of something goes wrong, to get bootable recovery stick, so i wont lose my windows and end up with nothing but one piece of sh** laptop.

i'll appreciate every answer to my issue.

I have the .iso file on usb. and i burned it in with uneboot. so everything should be done right with uneboot. but it just wont boot. it starts the countdown but it only loops.
i need to get the file open, but how.

you have to put the iso on your hard drive then let the usb tool format and install the image to the usb stick. if it not done right nothing will happen.
