UNetbootin: UNetbootin allows for the installation of various Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive, so it’s no different from a standard install, only it doesn’t need a CD. It can create a dual-boot install, or replace the existing OS entirely.

Creating bootable USB

Creation of the bootable USB Ubuntu installation really could not be easier. UNetbootin is a standalone utility which when run lets the user select from any support distribution flavor and version. The target USB key is also selected and after pressing OK the distribution is downloaded, unarchived, the USB key formatted and the distribution copied to the USB key and made bootable. All of this is handled for the user.
