One invaluable feature of modern computers is the ability to boot from removable storage such as USB flash drives. However, this feature isn’t easily utilised because there isn’t any native support available in Microsoft Windows (which as of 2011, is still the most common Operating System in the world).
We came across an application called UNetbootin that allows you to ‘burn’ an ISO image to a USB flash drive.
(You can download your copy here: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/)
To ‘burn’ an ISO image to the USB flash drive, follow these instructions:
- Install it as you would any other application.
- Load UNetbootin from your start menu.
- Select the Disk Image (second option down).
- Select ISO from the drop down.
- Click the three periods to browse for an ISO image.
- Make sure the Type is set to USB drive and the letter corresponds correctly.
- Click OK.
- The process will take a while, so grab a cup of tea!
You can also use this application to create Linux live boot disks.
I did, but the pc doesn start with the USB ( ..of course I ‘ve changed the boot start on BIOS ) ..what s problem ??
Hold the escape key during boot up. You need to get to the “boot menu” and startup from the USB disk.
