olivermax Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Got the Ubuntu LiveCD ISO on my Windows 7 PC. How can I make a bootable USB for installation? I simply copied the ISO to USB but it is not recognized as a bootable device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigsy Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 You need this little tool: https://rufus.ie/ It will create a bootable USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus does do a great job with this,as i have used it twice to create a bootable USB.I am only interested in tools that actually help.Like the ones above.

I would try a different USB, make sure it has more than the required 4gb and check in Rufus its definitely burning as iso, this should be the default anyway. There may be other issues here such as your pc not supporting USB boot ups, or UEFi bios which means in the list of drive options you need to look for the USB entry that's states secure boot or UEFi boot, not just the one listed as USB.
