Install Ubuntu 16.04 on a USB Stick from Windows

ubuntu_logo_1

This guide gives the exact steps to install Ubuntu on a USB stick from Windows. With these instructions the USB stick will not have any persistent storage.

Warning

The instructions have you destroy any existing data on the USB stick.

Steps

1. Go to http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04.4/

2. Download 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop image

Note: the file is 1.5 GB

3. Insert your USB stick:

insert_usb_stick_2

If you get an AutoPlay window, close it by clicking on the ‘x’:

autoplay_window_3

4. Download Rufus from link.

Note: There’s no need to install Rufus. Its just an exe. I saved mine to C:\tools

5. Double click on rufus-2.18.exe to run it

run_rufus_exe_4

6. Use the following settings and click on the disk icon.

use_following_settings_5

Make sure Device is the USB stick you plugged in. To do this, note the drive letter (D:) Run Windows Explorer by right clicking on Start and clicking Open Windows Explorer.

open_windows_explorer_6

removable_disk_is_inserted_7

7. (1) Select the ISO and (2) click Open

open_iso_8

8. Click Start

start_usb_install_9

Note: I’ve selected Check device for bad blocks so that I can make sure the device has no bad blocks before using it. It does take more time to program a USB stick if this is selected.

9. Click OK on the Download required popup

okay_for_download_required_10

10. Leave Write in ISO Image mode (Recommended) selected and click OK on the ISOHybrid image detected window

write_in_iso_image_mode_11

11. Click OK on the WARNING: ALL DATA… pop up. It will take a bit since we’ve selected Check the device for bad blocks.

warning_all_data_pop_up_12

Note: with Check for bad blocks programming can take time.

11.1. Click on Log to get the log.

find_log_13
