Prepare Live USB
Follow the steps below to prepare a live USB drive:
1. Download the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ISO file from the Ubuntu official Downloads page.
2. Insert the USB drive into your system. The USB drive must be a minimum of 4GB.
3. To make a Live USB in your Ubuntu system, open the Startup Disk creator application. If you are using a Windows system, use Rufus, and for macOS, use the Disk utility. In this example, we are working on an Ubuntu system, so we will use the Startup Disk creator application.
2. Insert the USB drive into your system. The USB drive must be a minimum of 4GB.
3. To make a Live USB in your Ubuntu system, open the Startup Disk creator application. If you are using a Windows system, use Rufus, and for macOS, use the Disk utility. In this example, we are working on an Ubuntu system, so we will use the Startup Disk creator application.
To launch the Startup Disk creator, hit the super key on your keyboard and search for the application using the search bar that appears. When the search result appears, click on the Startup Disk creator icon to launch the application. Under the Source disc image(.iso) section in the Startup Disk creator application, click on the Other button to insert the Ubuntu .iso file. The Disk to use section will automatically detect and add your plugged-in USB drive.
4. Click the Make Startup Disk button to start creating a bootable USB drive.
Wait for a little while, and the bootable media will be created. You will see the following message. Click the Quit button to close the notification.
Run Ubuntu from USB
Once you have a bootable USB, you can take it with you anywhere and run the OS from it without installation. However, remember that you cannot store files and data on the USB live image. If you want to save files and data on the USB drive, you will first need to install Ubuntu on the USB and create persistent storage.
Note: If the system you are using already has an OS installed, you should be sure to make a backup of all your data.
Try Ubuntu
If you want to just try out Ubuntu OS without installing it, follow the steps below:
- Insert the bootable USB on your system and boot your system from it.
- After the boot is finished, the following window will appear.
- Select the Try Ubuntu option, after which the Ubuntu live session will be started.
Now, you can try using Ubuntu from the USB drive and get more familiar with its GUI layout and appearance.
Install Ubuntu
If you want to keep files and data persistent in the Ubuntu OS, you will need to install it on your USB drive. The following are the steps required to do so:
1. Insert the bootable USB on your system and boot your system from it.
2. After the boot is finished, the following window will appear. Select the Install Ubuntu option.
2. After the boot is finished, the following window will appear. Select the Install Ubuntu option.
3. Once you have selected the Install Ubuntu option, you will see the following window. Select the keyboard layout and click Continue.
4. Select the Normal Installation or Minimal Installation option, based on whether you want the fully-featured Ubuntu OS, or you just want the basic features, respectively.
Uncheck the Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware and additional media formats check box. Then, click the Continue button. You can choose to download the updates during installation of the OS by checking the Download updates while installing Ubuntu box.
5. Next, in the Installation type window, choose the Something else option and click the Install Now button.
6. Identify the USB drive on which you want to install Ubuntu. In my case, it is /dev/sdb with one partition, as the size of my USB drive is 32 GB. We will delete the old partition and create new ones.
Select the USB drive from the Device list at the top and click the New Partition Table button. Then, click the + button to open the Edit partition window and create three partitions, one by one:
1. A swap partition of a size slightly larger than the system’s RAM. Choose the “swap” selection in the Use as option.
2. A FAT32 partition with any size greater than 512 MB.
3. A root partition of a size not less than the 4 GB minimum. You can use all the remaining space on your USB drive for the root partition. Choose the “ext4” selection in the Use as option and set the mount point to “/.”
2. A FAT32 partition with any size greater than 512 MB.
3. A root partition of a size not less than the 4 GB minimum. You can use all the remaining space on your USB drive for the root partition. Choose the “ext4” selection in the Use as option and set the mount point to “/.”
Under the Device for boot loader installation, make sure that you have selected the USB drive. Then, click the Install Now button.
4. A window will appear asking you to confirm the changes. Click Continue to proceed with the installation process.
5. Select the region where you live and click Continue.
6. The system will ask you to create a username, system name, and password. Provide the required information and click Continue.
Now, the installation will be started. Once the installation is completed, you will see the following message.
Click the Restart Now button to restart the system.

This is a step by step tutorial shows you how to install the real Ubuntu OS on USB stick to create a ‘Windows To Go’ style USB drive. Tested with Ubuntu 14.04
Requirements:
Before getting started, you need to prepare something:
- A 8GB+ USB Drive.
- A Ubuntu Live CD/DVD/USB. In the case below, I created a bootable Ubuntu Live USB from the .iso image.
- A computer with an operating system installed.
And always backup your data on the USB flash drive!
To get started:
In my case I have a newly bought 16GB USB stick, a 4GB old USB stick, and a laptop multi-boot with Ubuntu based systems.
1. I don’t have a Ubuntu CD/DVD, so I decided to burn the Ubuntu .iso image into the old USB stick. To do so:
- Download Ubuntu image: releases.ubuntu.com
- Download UNetbootin: unetbootin.sourceforge.net. For Ubuntu, install it from Software Center.
- Plug in the USB stick.
- Start UNetbootin, and burn the .iso image into USB
If you need more hints, follow this screenshot tutorial to create bootable Ubuntu Live USB

2. Plug in the bootable USB drive to your computer and boot into the Live Ubuntu system.
IMPORTANT: For Windows 8 pre-installed machine, you have to disable “fast startup” and “secure boot” features.
To disable “fast startup”, go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > System Settings > Choose what the power buttons do and uncheck the Turn on fast startup box.
To disable “secure boot”, follow this screenshot tutorial.
3. Now you’re in the Ubuntu Live system. Plug in the 8GB+ USB stick. Then launch Gparted from the Unity Dash.
Ubuntu Usb Creator
In the top-right drop-down box select the USB drive (16GB in my case), and you should see something like below: Ubuntu for win7.
I have two USB flash drives plugged in the computer, the Hard Disk is /dev/sda, 4GB Live USB is /dev/sdb, and the 16GB USB drive is /dev/sdc.
4. From the right-click context menu, un-mount partitions on the USB drive and then delete them.

Click the green check mark button to apply changes, finally you have an unallocated flash drive, like:
When done, close Gparted partition manager.
5. Click the desktop shortcut “Install Ubuntu” to bring up the Ubuntu installation wizard.
Follow the wizard until it asks you to choose where to install Ubuntu. Select the last option “Something else” and click Continue to bring up partition table.
6. In the partition table, scroll down and highlight the “free space” under the USB drive (/dev/sdc in the case) and click the plus sign to create below partitions one by one:
How To Install Ubuntu Linux (with Pictures) - WikiHow
- a FAT32 (or fat16) partition (required)
- must be /dev/sdc1 (or sdX1)
- mount point /NAME_HERE (/UDISK in the case)
- set the memory size by yourself, it can be used for normal data storage.
- leave others default.
- a EXT4 partition for Ubuntu (required)
- mount point “/” (without quotes)
- memory size 5G+
- leave others default.
- a swap partition (optional).
- You can skip this if RAM is large enough and you don’t need hibernation feature.
And very important is select install boot-loader to the USB flash drive (/dev/sdc in the case).
First call of duty multiplayer. 7. When everything’s done, click Install Now and confirm to format the partitions (Pay attention on which partitions to be formatted).
Click continue and finish the wizard. Once the installation complete, restart your computer and boot with the ‘Ubuntu To Go’ USB drive and enjoy!
