Original question: I have downloaded Ubuntu 14.04.4-desktop-amd64 onto a USB memory card. Clicking this ISO file reveals a number of folders and subfolders, but nowhere in any of these is a setup file or information on how to do the installation. I am tempted by the single file in the folder INSTALL, but cautious. Is this how the installation is started? If so, will I be queried as to the drive I want to boot from?
Reply to Ans 1: Thanks Guillermo. That was likely the right answer, but something went wrong in the execution. When I clicked "create" I got an immediate response that an error had occurred, and that my USB device (memory card) would not be bootable. But the creation continued, and I ended up with a "WUBI" application on the card. With trepidation I double clicked it. I bailed out when the operating system asked if I wanted this application to make changes to my computer. I don't know where this was going, but obviously not to a bootable USB device. The error meant what it said. I don't know what caused the error, or what my next step should be.
