I have been trying to install 16.04 for two long days now. I need help. I dont really know what im doing since 9.04 is unsupported. I want to install 16.04 however I tried mounting the ISO and nothing happens.

EDIT: I installed rufus 2.9 and an error occured while loading the archive. I have a USB I could use, but I can't get a software to work properly.

EDIT #2: "Disk Image Writer" does not come up. I tried other options that seemed similar but all had an "error". If it helps I installed this ubuntu 9.04 from a CD. I do not have any other blank CDs but I do have a 64GB flash drive.

    You do not mount the iso to install Ubuntu. You need to burn it to a disc and boot your computer from that. Alternatively you could also write the iso to an USB drive and boot from that. – Byte Commander May 26 '16 at 21:46
  • You can use the gnome image writer: right-click on the ISO file and select "open with > disk image writer". Then let it write that onto your USB device (data on USB will be deleted!). – Byte Commander May 26 '16 at 21:53

As update from 9.04 to 16.04 is not supported and you don't have any other blank DVD available, the only way is to do a clean install from usb. In my opinion the easiest way is to download the latest startup disk creator from launchpad because you will probably get errors if you use unetbooin in your old os.

Let me know if you have any package dependencies errors. If not, you should be able to create your live ubuntu usb and do a clean install.

  • I can not find where to download them. If i did download them I get an error after Package Installer opens and it says " Could not open 'usb-creator-common_0.3.2_amd64.deb" :((((( – confusedkid May 27 '16 at 01:15
