» Maybe, see Installing Other Distributions Using UNetbootin. FAQs Distribution X isn't on the list of supported distributions, will it work? Also, ISO files for non-Linux operating systems have a different boot mechanism, so don't expect them to work either. However, not all distributions support booting from USB, and some others require extra boot options or other modifications before they can boot from USB drives, so these ISO files will not work as-is. UNetbootin doesn't use distribution-specific rules for making your live USB drive, so most Linux ISO files should load correctly using this option. Installing Other Distributions Using UNetbootinĭownload and run UNetbootin, then select the "disk image" option and supply it with an ISO (CD image). UNetbootin has built-in support for automatically downloading and loading the following distributions, though installing other distributions is also supported: If you used the "Hard Disk" install mode: After rebooting, select the UNetbootin entry from the Windows Boot Menu. On PCs, this usually involves pressing a button such as Esc or F12 immediately after you turn on your computer, while on Macs, you should hold the Option key before OSX boots. If you used the "USB Drive" install mode: After rebooting, boot from the USB drive. If your USB drive doesn't show up, reformat it as FAT32. Select an ISO file or a distribution to download, select a target drive (USB Drive or Hard Disk), then reboot once done. It loads distributions either by downloading a ISO (CD image) files for you, or by using an ISO file you've already downloaded. UNetbootin can create a bootable Live USB drive You can either let UNetbootin download one of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply your own Linux. After that, you need to copy the Ubuntu EFI files from the Windows ESP partition and paste them into the USB Drive 2 EFI folder.UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu and other Linux distributions without burning a CD. Then, you will have to install the operating system on USB Drive 2. While the installation process will take a long time anyway, it will complete faster with a USB 3.0 drive.Īlso, we will use Windows 11 as our host operating system, but you can create a bootable USB using Linux as well.įirst, you need to create a bootable Ubuntu USB drive using Rufus. It could take a while to install Ubuntu on a USB 2.0 drive. If you use a USB 2.0 drive, it will have slow read and write speeds. Remember that you must use USB 3.0 drives. For ease of understanding, we will call the bootable drive " USB Drive 1" and the installation drive " USB Drive 2". The second USB drive will contain the actual Ubuntu installation. You'll use one USB drive as a bootable media. To install Ubuntu on a USB drive, you will need two USB drives with 16GB or above storage capacity.
