Ubuntu Server: installation cd-rom couldn't be mounted

I'm having issues installing ubuntu server on an old laptop. I'm installing it from a usb ssd (one partition - fat32).
I get to the stage where it tries to mount the cd-rom but it can't be mounted. I usually know how to fix this but I can't seem to fix it this time, this is usually how I fix it:
- Switch USB
- Alt + F2
- mkdir /media/usb
- mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/usb : OK
- mount -t iso9660 /media/usb/iso.iso /cdrom -o ro, loop : OK
- Alt + F1
- Retry
This has no effect and the iso even gets unmounted if I retry...
There is no hdd in the system as I'm just trying to get the installer to work.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks!
