Installing Ubuntu from a USB memory stick

This guide will help you install Ubuntu on your computer by using a USB memory stick. USB memory sticks are sometimes known as flash drives, memory pens or USB Mass Storage devices.

Installing from a memory stick is useful if you have a computer without a CD drive (such as a netbook), or prefer the convenience of a memory stick. Alternative methods are available, like installing Ubuntu from inside Windows.

It should take around 30 minutes to complete this process, plus the time it takes to download the 700MB installer file. Downloading from a torrent is by far the fastest way of getting it.

 Get a copy of the Ubuntu installer

You need a copy of the Ubuntu installer CD image (.iso) so that you can put it on a memory stick.

Put the installer on a memory stick

You need to download a program that can properly put the installer onto a memory stick. You can't just copy the .iso file onto the memory stick.

1. Plug-in the memory stick and restart your computer.
   • If you see a purple Ubuntu boot screen with white icons at the bottom , your computer has successfully booted from the memory stick. Skip to the Install Ubuntu section.
   • If your computer boots back into Windows, it is not yet set-up to boot from USB, so continue following these steps.
2. Restart the computer again. As soon as the first text appears on the screen, press the button to enter your BIOS/system setup. There should be a message telling you how to do this. You normally need to press one of the following keys: F1, F2, Del, Esc, F10, or F11.
3. A BIOS screen should appear. Find the option to change the Boot Order and change the first item in the boot order list to be USB Disk, or similar.
   • The USB Disk option may have a different name on your computer, for example: Removable Drive; USB-HDD; USB Mass Storage; or USB.
   • If there is no option to boot from USB Disk, your computer may not be able to boot from USB. See thefor a tool to test if your computer can boot from USB.
4. After you have changed the boot order, save your changes and restart the computer. It should now start from the memory stick.

4. When you get to the Prepare disk space screen ( choose one of the following options to determine how to put Ubuntu on your hard disk:
   • If you want to keep Windows installed and choose whether to start Windows or Ubuntu each time you start the computer, choose Install them side by side. This is called a dual-bootsetup. Use the slider on the colored bar at the bottom of the screen to choose how to share disk space between Windows and Ubuntu (Ubuntu should have at least 4GB of space).
   • If you want to remove Windows and replace it with Ubuntu, choose Erase and use the entire disk. All of the files on the disk will be deleted before Ubuntu is put on it, so make sure you have backup copies of anything you wanted to keep.
   • For more complicated disk layouts, choose Specify partitions manually. You can manually add, modify and delete disk partitions using this option.
