I have been using linux for 14 months. I am ok with command line.

Update: this is what i have tried so far.
Downloaded ISO's of KXStudio, AvLinux, Ubuntu Studio 17.04.

Burned each to usb stick fat 32, first using unetbootin. All returned the same error message "Failed to load ldlinux.c32"

Burned ubuntu studio to usb using dd command as suggested. Show's 3 gb of 3.2 gb on stick and boots with the same errror

Update 2

Created usb stick with dd command using sdb only but not using bs=512k.

On reboot KXStudio booted to KXStudio desktop. SUCCESS

However, i can't figure out how to proceed from there. I have downloaded the KXStudio Repos but not yet installed so will try that first.

Getting there!!!!
