Never had a boot to live OS have this problem, but, it's possible that grub or the MBR got messed up. Most likely it tried to install 15.10, instead of just doing the live OS thing.
booting to a live 14.04 usb, and repairing grub/MBR might've done the trick. It's hard to tell; There could also be a mountain of other possibilities, UEFI, BIOS, etc; but I'm shooting from the hip.
But generally, booting to a live OS shouldn't be a problem.

Since no one else responded, I'll give a guess.
