How can I make a bootable usb from the Ubuntu iso?
With UNetBootIN, for example. I like Pendrive Linux Easy USB Creator very much, but it doesn't support béta's without some tips 'n tricks. Testing an alpha isn't as simple as you think by the way, some experience is useful ;)
Unetbootin is available for Windows, Mac, Linux (Lots of distros)
In order to make an Ubuntu live USB for installing Ubuntu in Windows, use Rufus. Rufus is the recommended application at the official Ubuntu website for making a bootable live Ubuntu USB on Windows. The USB flash drive you use should be 2GB or larger and formatted to FAT32. For Ubuntu 18.04 and later the USB flash drive should be 4GB or larger. The formatting procedure will delete all of the files that are already on the flash drive.
The instructions for preparing an Ubuntu live USB are found at the official Ubuntu How to create a bootable USB stick... webpage (see the step-by-step instructions below).
The Ubuntu live USB flash drive that you make this way will be bootable from a PC. In order to enable your computer to boot from the USB flash drive, you must enter your BIOS menu by pressing one of these keys: Delete, F2 or F10 as soon as the motherboard splash screen appears when the computer is booting. In the BIOS menu, you need to change the boot order so that the USB flash drive, which is usually called USB-HDD in newer computers, is the first entry in the boot sequence, and then save your new BIOS settings and exit the BIOS setup.
you can use universal usb installer go to http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Universal-USB-Installer-Download-186578.html
install it
and then run it and select your linux version
and pendrive which is to be make as statup disk
Ubuntu ISOs (since 11.10) are hybrid, they are both CD and USB bootable. On Linux, you can just cat them to a flash drive.
On windows, follow the instructions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
Right-click on an ISO image and choose 'Open with > Windows Disc Image Burner'.
Select a disk burner (drive) and choose 'Burn'. If you check 'Verify disc after burning', it will confirm that the ISO image has been burned correctly.
Download and install the appropriate version of ISO Recorder. Insert an unformatted DVD into your burner. (Note: You can only burn DVDs with this tool from Vista.)
Open Windows Explorer, find your ISO file, right-click and choose 'Next'.
Try Rufus. It's free and works better than unetbootin or live usb creator. It succeeded where both have failed for me.
I haven't seen it mentioned, but Linux Live USB Creator is far and away the best I've tried. It's quick, easy, and allows Persistent Mode with no hassle. It is Windows-only, however.
In case you are using newer computer there is a good chance it support UEFI.
Now I understand this is an old post, but if someone have the same problem nowadays many of this answers just won't work. So if you want to create a bootable USB from Windows with all the new technologies supported (UEFI, GPT) you should use Rufus.
