After downloading Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, when I click on the program, a window opens which asks me to burn to a disk. Even though I have a USB drive attached (and which is recognized by my computer) it is not available for loading the program.

    You are presumable using Windows, but do not state that. There are detailed answers on this forum for that.

  • Yes, thank you. The answer below works for me. My problem now is what appears to be a common issue with the screen "freezing" after booting Ubuntu. The standard response I keep seeing is that the question has already been addressed but I cannot find the answer.

UNetbootin can create a bootable Live USB drive.

UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions without burning a CD. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/files/UNetbootin/608/unetbootin-windows-608.exe/download?use_mirror=ufpr

If using Windows, run the file, select an ISO file or a distribution to download, select a target drive (USB Drive or Hard Disk), then reboot once done. If your USB drive doesn't show up, reformat it as FAT32.
