have downloaded and then unzipped ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS on 8/22/14 to my windows 7 desktop. I get lots of folders and files after unzipping, but can not figure out how to create the iso image. My goal is to do so on a USB stick, but haven't been able to get to that step, wah!

  • From where and how did you downloaded Ubuntu 14.04 LTS? – rishiag Aug 22 '14 at 19:16

    You shouldn't unzip it. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows – Tim Aug 22 '14 at 19:17

    Windows 7 may be hiding the file extensions by default. Show file extensions. Then you will see the downloaded file has extension .iso. Use the file "as is" according to the official instructions. – user68186 Aug 22 '14 at 19:29

    to Add some info to @user68186 if you open up windows explorer and browse to the location you downloaded the ISO file. you can hit the "alt" key on your keyboard and you should see a menu appear at the top of the window. Click tools, then folder options. In the New Windows click the view tab and in the list of check boxes uncheck the box next to "Hide extensions of known file types" – Klyn Aug 22 '14 at 19:36

Thanks, I uninstalled winrar which was prompting me to unzip it, and got my ISO image, put it on pen drive and have it installed on my win 7 machine. Love it! Figured this out by using another windows 7 machine that did not have winrar installed. Yay!
