There are a lots of softwares available for making bootable and live USB's but they all fail at one distro or another.
So here is a magic bullet that fits all.
All you need is a bootable OR live distro's iso image file. If you have a live distro you'd get a live USB, if you only have bootable iso image you would get a bootable USB only.
First locate your USB
Then run this, replace path-to-iso with the path to where the iso file is on your disk and the ? with drive letter for your USB
dd if=/path-to-iso of=/dev/sd?
sync
Dont forget the sync command at the end to flush the usb-cache.
Example
dd if=/home/me/ubu.iso of=/dev/sdc
sync
Note: Do not include the numeric number e.g. its /dev/sdc and NOT /dev/sdc1!
Sir, i have installed Ubuntu on USB. Is this process that you have written above is so, that i can install windows (by running full setup) from a USB or cd/dvd to say USB hdd or just copy the windows installed files from one pc and get it on USB?
ReplyDeleteThis method will make the flash drive bootable. i.e. you can use the flash drive to install directly on any pc.
