Installing Ubuntu from usb pendrive on hard disk

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 58676 / 3 Years ago, thu, august 26, 2021, 4:28:59

I have downloaded Ubuntu 12.04 desktop iso. I wish to install this on my laptop and replace the existing windows xp (SP3) with ubuntu. Unfortunately I do not have a working CDROM drive on my laptop.

Is it possible to copy the ISO file on pendrive and then install Ubuntu on hard disk? I don't wish to run Ubuntu off the pen drive and would rather install it on hard disk itself.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes it is possible to create bootable USB from an ISO within Windows. It is not exactly by copying an ISO to the USB key, however it's almost as simple. The instructions are located here: How to create a bootable USB stick on Windows | Ubuntu

Afterwards you can boot from the USB as if you booted from a CD and proceed to install Ubuntu on your hard disk.
