I put this image in to a pen drive which is formated,set the boot option boot from usb but nothing happened .  I searched this over the net and on Ubuntu website but nobody has given the complete steps . someone say you can install from the Ubuntu also ,someone says u can  do a fresh installation from usb pen drive you need to make you pen drive bootable etc. etc. .  My problem is that i don't know the exact steps how ton install Ubuntu from usb pen drive?  All I want to do is to completely remove my Ubuntu 11.04 and install Ubuntu 12.04 from usb pen-drive.  Can any body tell me how to make a pen drive bootable ?  How to install Ubuntu 12.04 from pen-drive?  Please give me a step by step procedure with screenshots.  Thanx in advance

While doing a fresh ubuntu install (dual boot with XP using resize), I somehow managed to install grub to the source usb instead of to the harddrive. Normal harddrive boot goes straight to XP. Booting from USB leads me to grub. From there i can boot into ubuntu. Pretty cool actually, but not what I had in mind.  How do I install Grub to HD?   How do I recover my USB?

what I want to do is this. I have an external hard disk drive, a SEAGATE expansion 1TB, you can take it a look here:  As you can see this is not a flash usb hard drive, it is a USB hard disk drive. What I want to do is installing Ubuntu in this external hard disk drive... BUT NOT PLACING THE GRUB ON MY C: DRIVE. In other words, I don't want to see the GRUB splash Window asking me every single time if I want to load Windows or Linux. I want my PC turn on or restart and go directly to Windows... BUT... I want to have Linux in my external USB hard disk drive How do I want to load Ubuntu then? Easy, when I restart my computer or just start it... in ASUS mother boards I have the possibility to select the boot device by pressing F8, and I get the boot menu. I want to turn on my computer, press F8, my mother board ask me what drive I want to use to load the Operating Sytem, I select the USB external hard disk drive where do I have Ubuntu, and bingo, I run Ubuntu. When I finish to use Ubuntu, I close it and turn off my computer. Later, I turn on my computer, and if I don't press F8, automatically load the hard disk drive C: and load Windows. My question about this, is what are the necessary steps to install the latest version from Ubuntu, doing exactly this. Not placing the GRUB in my C: hard disk drive, and installing it entirely in the external USB hard disk drive (normal one, not flash one).

I installed Ubuntu sometime back along side Vista, but later found that I rarely (if ever) use Ubuntu. How easy is it to return my computer to its initial state of having only one OS, and freeing up the hard-drive space used by the Ubuntu install?

This is the third time I have installed Ubuntu on my pc along with Windows 7, but every time I install, I have to upgrade all packages. (Almost 300 - 400 Mb). Is it possible to make a bootable DVD of my current installation so that I don't have to upgrade all the packages next time?

Could someone explain how to install Ubuntu from an SD card? I don't have any CDs or USB sticks around. My current operating system is Windows 10 64 bit.

I just bought a new laptop with Windows 7 installed and I'm planning on installing Ubuntu 11.10 for a dual-boot.  Here's my rather basic problem :  I have a 750go hard drive, pretty much partitioned like this :   Recovery : 25go C: (Windows 7) : 295go D: (Data) : 380go   That is the factory configuration, the hard drive is still fairly empty (I removed all the bloatware and didn't install anything yet).  This is what I'd like to obtain :   Keep my recovery partition A partition for Windows 7 A partition for Ubuntu A "big" common partition for Windows and Ubuntu data, all the files I'm going to create.   How can I do that? Do I have to resize/create the partitions in Windows 7 before installing Ubuntu? Do I have to do it while installing Ubuntu using Gparted?  I'm quite confused and I'd like to make it right so I guess I need your help.  Thanks a lot everyone.

Just as the question says, I need to install newer version of Ubuntu without messing up the older version. I have looked at the responses to similar questions but it isn't clear to me how to do so (some suggest dual boot using a second hdd and some suggest using virtualization -- both of these are not an option for me).

More specifically, I want to know if when I put the Ubuntu OS on my flash drive if it is permanent or not. As in,can I delete the Ubuntu installation files after I install it on my computer and use it as a regular USB again? I just want to install Ubuntu on a unformatted hard drive and then be able to use my USB like normal again.  Sorry, I know I must sound very redundant. Thank you for the help.

I have installed Ubuntu several times on my thumb drive. First times were on 8 GB thumb drives. I noticed I could not save anything as when I rebooted, it was all gone.  So, I got a 30 GB drive, tried installing again... and same thing.  Now I've found out I am running a LIVE version... not actually an installation.  So, for the somewhat novice who cannot do command-line installs,  step by step is there a way to install ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386.iso using, unetbootin-windows-585.exe to a 30 GB USB stick using my Windows 7 machine?

So I've got 2 hard drives, a 128GB SSD, on which Windows 7 is installed, and a standard 1TB hard drive.  Now I want to install Ubuntu. The SSD has only got about 4GB of space left, and I don't really want to delete anything to make space for Ubuntu so I want to install it on the 1TB hard drive. I know that in order to do this I will have to change the boot order each time I want to switch OSes, but I don't really mind since I won't be using Ubuntu as much as Windows anyway. I've got a lot of data on the 1TB hard drive, about 850GB, but there should be enough for Ubuntu.  My question though, is if I can just make a new partition on this drive and install Ubuntu to it, without erasing any other data. If I can, can I, like I specified, also just change the OS I want to use by simply changing the boot order? Sorry if this has been asked before, but most of the answers I could find were about installing it to an empty second hard drive, whereas I would like to keep the data on mine.  Thanks in advance!

As you can guess, I am trying to dual boot Ubuntu and Kali.  But the thing is that i don't have a spare ubuntu iso(which would allow me to live boot ubuntu and then create a partition using g parted or any other app since my hd remains unmounted). So, it would be very awesome if anyone could provide me a way to create a new partition without unmounting it.. TIA

So basically as it stands I have a laptop which has no cd/dvd drive, and I don't have a usb drive.  The laptop has windows 7 installed with ubuntu 11.04 installed through wubi.  What I want to do is remove windows completely, and make ubuntu the only OS installed on the system.  Is there a way to do this without re-installing ubuntu? (i.e. can I take my wubi install away from windows?)  or is there a way to from inside ubuntu have it run the ubuntu iso somehow so I can just wipe the system and install it fresh? (even if it means I need to have an e.g. 2gb partition just for the image to reside in).

Also suggest the amount of space I should allocte to ubuntu 13.10.

How would I go about dual booting Windows 10 and Ubuntu, the windows drive is on an ssd as my c drive and my s drive is a hdd that I want to use for Linux. I have no idea what I need to download it or anything.
