How do I make a bootable USB from Ubuntu? I've been looking online but end up confused. I see Startup Disk Creator but they way its worded it makes me think its only for making another Ubuntu USB. I'm not very good with Linux. I only have it because I broke Windows. XD

If not clear, I broke Windows and had to install Linux. I am now wanting to know how to make a bootable USB from Linux. I already have the .iso file.

  • I already have a bootable Ubuntu USB. I'm trying to make a bootable Windows USB. I broke Windows and had to install Linux on my laptop so now I'm trying to get back to Windows. Linux is to complicated for my simple mind. Plus I'm a gamer and most games come for Windows. – MagmaDude Feb 15 '16 at 02:39
  • I have Linux currently installed. I'm not very good with it and as far as I know you can't run .exe. I'm using Linux to make a Bootable Windows USB. I already have a Ubuntu USB. – MagmaDude Feb 15 '16 at 02:46
  • So you have to create the bootable USB in Linux, unless you can get a friend to loan you a Windows computer, or go to a library which has them. It would make things easier for you, then you could follow the steps on the website Ashu linked to, in his last paragraph. – theodorn Feb 15 '16 at 03:42
  • If you have to do things from within Ubuntu, it might work simply to extract the files of the ISO to the root folder of your USB. That's all the procedure in "The hard way" chapter of the microsoft-news.com link suggests. You can do that with 7zip, which is available for Ubuntu. Make sure the USB is fat32 formatted. – theodorn Feb 15 '16 at 03:45
  • @MagmaDude. if you are doing any such thing - I will recommend do it from Windows only. – Ashu Feb 15 '16 at 04:00
