Create Bootable Ubuntu Distro in USB

Asked By jude watt 10 points N/A Posted on - 12/26/2011

Hi. I need help on creating a bootable Ubuntu Distributions on my 16GB USB Flash Disk. I tried to make it but I don’t have any luck. I searched online and learned that I can only work it with ISO images. I need to install GRUB2 on my USB and then partition and install various Linux distributions but I am having an error with it. Could anyone please help?

nInstall Ubuntu to USB via the USB Creator:

Download the Ubuntu 8.10 ISO and burn it to a CD
Restart your computer, booting from the Live CD
Insert a 1GB or larger USB flash drive
Navigate to System > Administration > Create a USB startup disk:

5.Next, (1) Select the USB disk to use, (2) Select the option Stored in reserved extra space and adjust the sider to set capacity to use, (3) Click the Make Startup Disk button:

6.A progress bar will indicate the progress of your USB Ubuntu installation:

7.Once the installation is complete, simply remove the CD, restart your computer and set your boot menu or BIOS to boot from the USB device

If all goes well, you should now be booting from Ubuntu 8.10 on your USB flash drive, automatically saving changes you make to the casper-rw loop file as you go.

Notes: If your BIOS does not support booting from USB, you can make a USB Boot CD for Ubuntu 8.10 to launch your USB Ubuntu 8.10
