The link given above contains instructions for installing ubuntu *to* a pen drive. You want to install ubuntu *from* a pen drive. Refer to these instructions from the official ubuntu installation guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/boot-usb-files.html
BTW, I hope you have verified the checksum of the downloaded iso file.
BTW you could install from the windows partition itself ...
your friends in this one - 1. grub4dos 2. kernel image and intrd image from hd-media ( http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/ima... ) 3. And the alternate installer iso on the windows partition.
Just an alternate method that worked awesome for me.

No, that procedure is not for installing ubuntu virtually. Its for installing ubuntu by copying the installation files to a windows partition and creating a bootup option to start the installation on reboot. You can read the detailed procedure at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows Scroll down to the "The CD image approach" at the bottom of the page.
But first verify that your download was proper: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM

whenever you download a large file, lookout for a file named md5sum.txt or other similar place where md5/sha1sum is listed. after the download is finished, run: $ md5sum big-file.iso and compare the value of md5 as mentioned on the site.

Or sometimes there's a digest file containing all of them.

fd0 is the device for diskette in first floppy drive. is there an option to change the drive to usb flash? they are typically accessed from /dev/sdaX or similar device.
