When you need to install any Linux distributions, you definitely need a bootable USB Disk / stick or DVD. There are several 3 rd party applications that helps you turn the ISO file into a Bootable USB disk. With a Bootable disk, you can not only install distro applications, you can also use the disk to test the desktop experience of Ubuntu without needing to meddle with your computer’s configuration or even help in fixing any configuration issues.
In this article, we’ll show you how to create a bootable disk/DVD on Ubuntu / Linux Mint. When it comes to creating bootable disks, there are many tools available and we are going to discuss about the following tools. Startup Disk Creator. UNetbootin.
dd (command line utility) Startup Disk Creator Startup Disk Creator is a utility that is readily available with Ubuntu to help you create bootable disks easily. Whenever we install Ubuntu and Linux Mint then this installed automatically as part of default tools. Whenever we install Ubuntu and Linux Mint then this (Startup Disk Creator) installed automatically as part of default tools. Mint Cinnamon (17.3) doesn’t have this installed by default. Instead it uses something called ‘USB Image Writer’.
Maybe it’s the same program but the interface was altered somewhat. I’ve lately burned in a few ISOs using ‘USB Image Writer’ and the debian-based stuff has booted fine. Having problems with non-debian stuff (arch-based and others).
I screwed with some bin files in MAC OSX, and can't log in. Anyways, I want a bootable ubuntu usb so I can recover my files/look at the disks. I KNOW HOW TO MAKE A USB BOOTABLE IN MAC. However, I do not know how to make one in Ubuntu. I have a computer with ubuntu, but need to make a bootable usb FOR A MAC. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Most boot their menus fine but all end up not being able to find the ISO directory (weird, maybe it’s my USB hardware). I’m going to try uNetBootin to see if I have better success. I did try multisystem for multiple ISOs on a disk (it installed so much stuff, including qemu) but it turned out to be a failure. Also tried YUMI (under WINE) and it too failed to create a multi-boot system.
These are Linux boot options for use IN a Linux installation. What about making a Linux boot and install disc in Windows? MOST of us wanting to try Linux distros will be coming from a Windows PC and we seriously need such a Linux boot and install tutorial as you have here. We will likely NOT be getting a disc from another Linux user because we don’t know any. So, let’s make it easy -as many say Linux is- to get involved. Since the most recent info says 0.6% of all PC’s have Linux installed, I’m very sure that’s what the Linux community wants as well.
BTW: with apologies, Barry, you are regrettably short sighted.
Well, if the live USB will be Ubuntu 16.04, it might be enough just to boot rEFInd once, just to load the live USB. After I installed 16.04, my Mac booted straight to GRUB, ignoring the installed rEFInd. It's possible to make a.
If the pre-made flash drive image doesn't work, see the 'Tip' to the right on that page. And I suggest using GUID partition table if you do your own rEFInd flash drive image - I think Macs require all bootable disks to have either GUID or Apple partition table. So maybe your friend could try booting a rEFInd USB, then from there booting the Ubuntu live USB? (I have no experience with booting rEFInd from external media, so no idea if this would work.).
