I have spent days trying to get an Lenovo ideapad S340 boot from a USB.   Would someone care to walk me through step by step?   I have searched on the internet, changed BIOS settings, created USBs (universal usb installer, unetbootin ) and am going round in circles.   I do have technical background and can follow instructions, but need some guidance to avoid the pitfalls.   I am stuck with getting this USB to work.

I'd like to create a Windows bootable USB stick, but I don't have a Windows machine with me at the moment to do so. How could I achieve the same using Ubuntu?

Can't get an HP 8200 Elite Small Form Factor to boot from USB. It's done so in the past &amp; the USB boot drive works in a different machine (HP 8440p laptop).  Have tried upgrading BIOS (from 2.09 to 2.15a, then back to 2.14a) with no luck.  USB drive appears in BIOS "Device Configuration" list, but not in "Boot Order". USB Hard Drive is set highest in the BIOS "Boot Order" list.  What simple, obvious thing am I missing here?

The question is simple and straight forward:  How to boot from an USB drive in VirtualBox?  EDIT:  I have attached usb to VirtualBox as shown in the screenshot.    But it is not possible to boot from an USB drive even when attached  .  So I would like to know if there is any other possiblity to boot from an USB drive?

I am a new user for Ubuntu. I downloaded 13.10 yesterday and made a bootable USB with universal USB installer on my Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 laptop which is now using UEFI; everything appeared OK.  When I booted from the LiveUSB I got the choices of trying or installing Ubuntu but both of them keep giving me these error:  [ 1.929082] kernel panic-not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0.0)   Please tell me what is going wrong?

I need to create a Windows installation USB drive from an ISO file. I used UNetbootin which seems to be the only tool that can write non-Linux images.  The USB disk boots (sort of), but it gets stuck at the very first stage. A UNetbootin splash screen appears that keeps counting down from 10 to 0, and then restarts.   The screen looks like this:    Is there a way to make Windows boot from a USB image created on Linux?

is a tool that let you install Grub on a USB flash drive. I really like it because it lets me boot from ISO files and let me put a bunch of ISOs on my USB and choose which one to boot.  The problem is, this is a Windows tool, and I don't know how to do it through the command lines. I would also like to know how to install Grub (2) this way, Grub Legacy seems to be easier...  EDIT: I'm not asking for a tool (and definitely not a Windows tool). I want to know the commands that I have to execute to have the same effects. I'm having Ubuntu in my mind right now, but if there is a general way that I can boot any ISO in the USB then that would be better.

When I was installing Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit on my new PC from a flash drive since the only computers I have do not have disk drives, I ran into a problem.  After the ASUS logo when switching on the PC, and pressing F8 to select the USB flash drive, there was the options thing as normal that allows me to select to either boot form the flash drive or install on the HDD, when I do either of these, there is a bunch of text on a black background, as I would expect, but after a few seconds the screen goes blank and the monitor says No signal.  I have previously installed Ubuntu with a flash drive to fix issues caused my Windows and ran into no problems.  Is it a problem with the pen drive I am using? Or maybe a problem with the system? I tried it in my USB 3.0 ports at the back and the USB 2.0 ones as well.  My Specs are:   &nbsp;&nbsp;AMD Phenom II x4 965BE &nbsp;&nbsp;ASUS AMD Radeon HD 6670 &nbsp;&nbsp;ASUS M5-L75 USB3 (typing this from memory, it's an AM3+ ASUS board with USB3.0 in the AMD700 chipet or something) &nbsp;&nbsp;Corsair XMS3 DDR3 4GB(2x2GB) 1333MHz RAM    I ran the memtest program on the flash drive as well, and it came out clean.

How would I go about creating a CentOS 7 bootable USB drive with Windows? I've read  and it says that Unetbootin and Universal USB installer won't work for CentOS 7. In addition, I've already tried dd for Windows, and that didn't work properly either - booting from the USB drive resulted in a "Machine Check Error".

So my friend has a USB flash drive that isn't working. I don't know a whole lot about "recovery" software so I figured I'd ask you guys.  What steps can I try (I have access to a Linux machine as well) to see....if I can get ANYTHING off the flash drive?  I've google'd around, but most of the stuff seems for windows.

How do I make an Bootable Ubuntu USB containing the the latest version of Ubuntu?  For completeness, how would I be able to do this on Ubuntu, Windows, OS X or another Linux distro?

I am running Windows 10 and am starting to learn how to boot from USB devices.   I have a 16GB USB (USB 3.0) drive and I want to do the following:   Make the 16GB USB drive run Debian Linux. Keep Windows 10 on my C: drive. Not partition my hard drive or set up a dual boot. Run the OS from my USB drive. Let all of my files and programs be saved to the USB (so I don't think that a live OS would be suitable). It should work as though it was a dual boot as in the way files are saved. Make it work on any computer it is plugged in to (assuming the BIOS is compatible).   I already know how to boot from a USB in my BIOS but I am unsure as to where to get an ISO file and how to install it to the USB.

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.

A few weeks ago my chromebook got crazy and its OS got corrupted for an unknown reason. I'd like to instal Ubuntu 12.04 64bit on it using a bootable USB pendrive, but since it is not the usual installation that I am used to on PCs/laptops....I am a bit stuck and dont even know where to start. I'd simply like to make a pendrive that I can make bootable for my chromebook and do the installation.

I'm absolutely new to Linux. I would like to know how to install Ubuntu alongside the pre-installed Windows 8+ OS.  Should I do it with Wubi, or through the Live USB/DVD?  What steps do I need to take to correctly install Ubuntu?
