I'm new to Linux. I'm using Ubuntu 11.04. Now i want to install Ubuntu 12.04 .

I got an ISO image of Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop.
I put this image in to a pen drive which is formated,set the boot option boot from usb but nothing happened .

I searched this over the net and on Ubuntu website but nobody has given the complete steps . someone say you can install from the Ubuntu also ,someone says u can do a fresh installation from usb pen drive you need to make you pen drive bootable etc. etc. .

My problem is that i don't know the exact steps how ton install Ubuntu from usb pen drive?

All I want to do is to completely remove my Ubuntu 11.04 and install Ubuntu 12.04 from usb pen-drive.

Can any body tell me how to make a pen drive bootable ?

I think there is no easier way than this illustrated here.

In short:

After Downloading Ubuntu.

Open the dash and search for Startup Disk Creator (for the dash click the icon on top right).

Start the Startup Disk Creator and Click on Other

Then select open and search the location that you have downloaded Ubuntu (normally in ~/Downloads)

Select the USB stick in the bottom box and click 'Make Startup Disk'.
