This guide gives the exact steps to install Ubuntu on a USB stick from Windows. With these instructions the USB stick will not have any persistent storage. To create your Ubuntu live USB, open Universal USB installer and set the following: Step 1: Select 'Ubuntu Server Installer' (or 'Ubuntu' for installing Ubuntu). Step 2: Browse and select the.iso file you downloaded in the previous step. Step 3: Select the drive corresponding to the USB drive.
I want to burn a Windows ISO to a USB device in Ubuntu. How do I do this?
Games for windows xp. I know how to burn a Ubuntu ISO into a USB device, but with a Windows ISO it's not the same.

UNetbootin should work: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
Or you could try a bit-by-bit copy:
And wait for it to finish. (The 'bs=4M' - bit is optional, just makes it faster.)

You must run dd as su or sudo. It's worth mentioning that gparted requires su as well, but will typically use gksudo to prompt for the password.
This means you can lock gparted to the launcher on a persistent liveboot USB for field diagnostics.

If you boot with UEFI (not BIOS or UEFI with BIOS compatibility mode (a.k.a. CSM)) all you'll need is GParted and a file manager.
The ISO must be configured for UEFI boot for this to work. I've successfully done this with both Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.04, but I can't vouch for any other OS. (Edit: I just tried this with Windows 10 without success. Don't know why, but WinUSB worked so I didn't investigate further.)
This is what I do to create a bootable USB drive for UEFI firmware:
(While testing this I couldn't mount the USB drive anymore after setting the boot flag. I don't know why, but GParted could still see it and the end result was still a bootable USB drive, so I guess it doesn't really matter.)
Once again: Please note that for this to work, your computer's firmware must be UEFI compliant and the ISO must be ready for UEFI boot.
If you find an EFI directory in the ISO that's usually a good sign.
To see whether you're currently using UEFI boot, run
sudo efibootmgr -v in a terminal. If it lists a number of boot options you're good to go. If you're using BIOS compatibility mode you'll see something like this:
For more information on UEFI, please read this excellent essay on the subject: https://www.happyassassin.net/2014/01/25/uefi-boot-how-does-that-actually-work-then/
Also, I don't think Ubuntu will work with Secure Boot enabled, so you'll have to disable that to be able to use UEFI boot with Ubuntu.

If you're using Ubuntu to burn Windows ISO to USB you could use WinUSB. Unetbootin won't work with Windows ISOs. It supports only Linux distros.
However, installing WinUSB on current Ubuntu versions is not an easy task. More than that WinUSB has older GRUB dependencies that may interfere with your bootloader setup, so you may end up with a non-bootable Ubuntu. Well that shouldn't be such a big problem if you were making a Windows USB to get rid of Ubuntu. But that is not guaranteed either.
Currently there are two methods for booting an operating system. EFI loading and MBR loading. Which one is suitable for you depends on the PC/motherboard capabilities. The method for creating a bootable USB for each of the above mentioned boot loading methods is described on How can I create a Windows bootable USB stick with Ubuntu?
WinUSB can only make MBR bootable USB drive.

Install Ubuntu Iso To Usb Mac
There's a tool called Multisystem which can make a USB drive bootable, and boot various OSes from it - amongst others, Windows XP, Vista and Seven are supported (the program's pages are in French only; the program itself is localized). I was able to boot the WinXP install ISO off a USB flash disk using this tool.
Note that the Windows CD is an install CD, not a usable 'live' distribution.

It's very simple..We will go step by step :using power iso:
NOTE: pendrive must be of 4GB or more.

From Windows, try using unetbootin and from a linux distro use this command in terminal (this worked for me, but you will lose the content of the flash drive, so make a copy):

I know that question is a bit outdated, but for the sake of compleetness I add a link to a modern standard Ubuntu GUI application for burning iso on a flash drive: Disk Creator.

Ubuntu can mount .iso files from nautilus in Natty.
Have you tried copying the contents of the .iso to the desired USB drive?
From there you should be able to tell your PC to boot from the USB with no problems.
If that Fails to work you can use UNetBootin in order to copy/burn the .iso to disk.
This blog post Describes how to do that.

Ubuntu requires no introduction. It’s one of the best flavors of the Linux operating system. The recent versions of Ubuntu not only sport an easy-to-use interface but also come with essentials apps that you use often.
The best thing (other than the fact that they are free) about Ubuntu and other Linux distros is that you can try them without installing them on your PC. You just need to prepare a bootable USB of Ubuntu or any other distro and then boot from it to begin exploring the operating system.
If you are on Windows 10, you can easily create an Ubuntu bootable USB. While you can prepare the Ubuntu bootable USB right from the Command Prompt without using any third-party utilities, you can use the popular Rufus software to easily prepare the bootable USB of Ubuntu on Windows 10.
In this guide, we will see how to prepare the bootable USB of Ubuntu on Windows 10.
Put Ubuntu Iso On UsbPrepare bootable USB of Ubuntu on Windows 10
Step 1: Connect a USB drive (4GB+) to your PC and move all data from the USB to either your PC or any other location as the drive will be erased while preparing the bootable USB.
Step 2: Get the latest version of Rufus from its official page. Note that a portable version of Rufus is also available, and we recommend you download the same if you don’t intend to install it on your PC.
Step 3: Launch Rufus. Select the connected USB drive from the Device drop-down box.
Step 4: In the Boot selection field, click on the Select button to browse to the Ubuntu ISO image file and select the same. You can download the latest version of Ubuntu from this official page.
Step 5: Select the Partition scheme as MBR (select GPT if you are using the same) and target system as BIOS or UEFI (select this if you are not sure about the system).
Step 6: Finally, click on the START button.
Step 7: If you get the following Download required dialog, click Yes button to download the required files. It will download two small files.
Step 8: Next, you might get the following ISOHybrid image detected dialog. If you get one, select the recommended Write in ISO Image mode option and then click on the OK button.
Step 9: Finally, you will get the format confirmation dialog. Click OK button to format the USB drive and begin transferring Ubuntu ISO file contents to the USB drive.
Depending on your PC’s configuration, Rufus might take 5 to 20 minutes to complete its job. Once done, you will see the READY message.
You may now safely remove the USB. As said earlier, you can use this bootable USB as live USB as well.
