I tried to install ubuntu but i have this error. I unpacked iso on phone to make bootable USB drive. I tried anything: - making 3 partitions : EFI, weird BIOS partition and ext4 partition with mounting / / /home - normal install and some more - using the second pendrive  I tried all answers on any forums. If you need more informations, ask me questions.

So, I'm in a situation were I want to install ubuntu in my laptop (currently running windows 8) but I don't happen to have pendrives, CDs or the like available. The only "external" device I have with me is a samsung galaxy s2 with a micro SD-card in it.   Is it possible to use the phone as a pendrive to install ubuntu from it somehow? (without damaging the phone's OS and data)

The reason that I cannot use a usb or cd is because the 'xHCL Compliant Host Controller' is not working on my laptop. I have tried every methods I could find, even resetting my laptop to factory settings as a last resort. But, to reset my laptop, I got rid of my Ubuntu partition and I've been looking for a solution to get it back. I have tried Unetbootin as I've seen recommended online, but I get this error from the Windows boot manager while trying to boot using unetbootin: note: i was trying to install ubuntu 20.04 on my disk using ubuntu, as shown here: . However this was to dual boot with Windows 7, and I have Windows 10 so maybe that is the problem? Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. to fix the problem:      1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.   2. Choose your language settings, and then click &quot;Next.&quot;   3. Click &quot;Repair your computer.&quot;  If you do not have this disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.      Files: \ubnldr.mbr          Status: 0xc000007b      Info: The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or            contains errors   If anyone knows whether it is feasible to install ubuntu on my laptop without a USB or DVD, or if you have any ideas on how to make it work, let me know! my laptop: ASUS UX330UAK Windows version: 10.0.18363 Build 18363 BIOS mode: UEFI Let me know what other information is needed! NOTE: I see a lot of discussions about this topic where people just say &quot;just use a USB&quot; but that is NOT possible in my case, and I can't use a DVD either (I don't have a slot for it). Similarly, SD cards also do not work. I am not looking for a solution to fix my USB driver (or whatever it is that isn't working) since I spent two days in the guts of google trying all the different solutions, I doubt there is a solution I haven't tried. Sending my laptop to the manufacturer is not an option as I need it everyday for classes and work.

Do you have tips or a guide how to install Ubuntu in Microsoft Virtual PC?  I have found some (older) information, but I wonder if this is still valid. And it looks very "unfriendly".

I have dual booted Ubuntu with Windows 7. I wanted to uninstall Ubuntu. So as per an answer for one of the related questions on this site I did the following:   Deleted the Ubuntu Partition through Windows. As per the answer now I was supposed to boot Windows from USB &amp; then do "repair startup".   But Windows could not find any problem hence nothing was done. So when my laptop booted normally (i.e. from HDD) it was showing some error like GRUB:/ unknown file system. I dont remember the exact words but it was something like this. Thus I couldn't boot windows neither Ubuntu. So again I had to install Ubuntu.  But now my question is how do I remove Ubuntu so that my laptop returns to the previous state of installing Ubuntu?  UPDATE: Seems that it wasnt on this site. My mistake :P .Here is the link

I can't boot via USB after installing Ubuntu.   Yes, the BIOS lists USB, but it is disabled.  Yes, USB is at the top of the boot priority in the BIOS, but it is disabled.  Yes, user Da1T, I'm looking in the BIOS.   Burning an image to disc is a waste of time and money.

Can I install Ubuntu without formatting any partitions on my hard drive?  I am already running Windows 7 and I want to install Ubuntu as well without formatting any of the partitions I have already created.

I have a netbook that I want to install Ubuntu onto. I do have a good Mac computer that I can make a bootable USB drive from, but I'm confused on how to go about making it.

I would like to install Ubuntu  for almost 120 users. But it's very difficult in using USB and drives.  Any suggestions?

I am trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 / 15.10 on my Dell XPS 13 9350 (November 2015).  I created a bootable USB disk which boots fine but the installer and the file manager do not detect the hard drive.  What is the problem? How can I solve it?

I wonder if someone can help me? I am fairly new to trying to actually understand and use computers myself rather than just buying whatever Windows/Mac wants me to! You will get a giggle from my flawed attempts anyway :-)  I would like to start using Ubuntu on my PC, just got a new harddrive and did have a borrowed windows 7 disk as was planning to temporarily install it so i could get ubuntu. However I didn't have high enough spec hardware for win 7 (I think it is due to only 1gb ram, i do have 64 bit technology and a 1tb harddrive). I am quite happy to install 32 bit ubuntu and hear it is easier the use than 64 anyway.  So I have one other rubbish mini laptop (windows xp) which i am trying to use to get ubuntu onto a usb (laptop has no cd drive) so i can install it on the pc. First tried just downloading ubuntu 13.04 desktop onto a usb and trying to boot the pc from it which gave the message 'no operating system'. Then I tried this to create a bootable usb which sounded promising:  . However then it starting asking for my saucy desktop iso in order to install it onto the usb stick, can't really manage to find out what a saucy desktopp iso is, maybe a mirror image of an operating system, no idea why i would need that.  So in short, I'm lost. All I can think of is getting windows xp somewhere so i can get my pc to work and install ubuntu from the internet on that, or going to a friends house in the hope that creating a bootable cd is easier than creating a usb.  Sorry for my general ineptness and hope someone can help!

After installing Ubuntu, Windows didn't boot so I installed boot repair to fix this problem. But I am getting the message displayed below.  I tried to make a new partition with unformatted file system but still receiving the same message.  How do I fix it?

I want to install Ubuntu on my laptop that doesn't have a CD-ROM drive and I have no spare USB disk. I've tried Wubi, but that doesn't seem to work (since it prompts me to have the CD in the drive, which I don't have).  How can I install Ubuntu, easily and in a fast way?  P.s: I want to dual boot it with Windows 7 (which was preinstalled).  Edit:   When extracting the ISO to a folder and running Wubi it does install, but when I reboot the computer, it doesn't show GRUB, nor can I choose if I want to boot Ubuntu or Windows 7. After trying for the third time today, wubi gives me an error: Permission denied   I'm the administrator on the PC.

What's the best way of placing a bootable ISO on a USB drive, such that the drive is bootable? ISOs such as a live Linux preview disk, Windows installation ISO, etc.

I can't format my pendrive (where ubuntu was loaded as live-usb) . Whenever I do , they say .  This partition cannot be modified because it contains a partition table; please reinitialize layout of the whole device. (udisks-error-quark, 11)  What to do ? I use Disks in Ubuntu 16.04

I need a reliable application which will make usb pen drives bootable. Recently, I tried creating a bootable lubuntu-13-04-alternate usb on a ubuntu 12.10 system but ended up with 'boot error' when trying to boot. I tried startup disk creator as well as unetbootin. This is not the first time I am experiencing this, rather the above two utilities have always had high failure rates in my experience. Universal-usb-installer, YUMI, LiLi have worked great whenever I tried them, but all of them are windows only! So I have two questions:   What is the method to reliably create a bootable usb in ubuntu?  Why does windows have some of the best bootable usb creators while linux dosent?

I downloaded the iso file for XUbuntu. I created a live usb using Pen Drive Linux. I turned on my computer, booted to the XUbuntu installation screen, and selected "check disk for defects".  A minute later, it says that it found one defect. How do I figure out what this defect is?
