Win32diskimager makes an Ubuntu family USB boot drive in windowsintroduction

A version with screenshots are published now, because it is needed ...

[This was the situation now with the new Ubuntu 14.10 version] Win32diskimager is particularly good for pre-release testing and new releases when the standard tools like UNETB Ootin might not being ready (if the configuration of the booting have been changed since the previous release).

It is possible and easy to copy/flash/clone an ISO file to a mass storage device, typically a USB pendrive. The method under the hood is the same as was described in the wiki page about Mkusb.

I (Sudodus alias Nio Wiklund) has tested this method and it works in Windows XP, Windows 8 and Windows Technical Preview (alias ' Windows 10 '). I have not a tested in Vista and Windows 7, but I am almost sure the IT works in those versions too. The following screenshots were made in Windows Technical Preview.

Graphical user interface tools in Windowsdownload an Ubuntu ISO file

Download an ISO file with standard Ubuntu or one of the many Ubuntu flavours, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Gnome ... Using your Web browser or download a torrent file and get the ISO file faster that is.

Download and install Win32diskimager and Md5summer

Download the following Help programs

Http://www.md5summer.org Http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager

Check the Md5sums versus the lists at

Https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes

Install the programs and run them (which is straight-forward in Windows).

Screenshots and Commentsstart and Overviewmd5summer

The window at the top left corner md5sums:generating ... is the md5summer window. It helps, but isn't necessary.

Ignore this warning

There can is a warning, that's need to format the disk ... (at 1)

This is because Windows might does recognize the file system on the pendrive. But does not worry! The process to copy/flash/clone the ISO file would overwrite the drive anyway, so it's completely meaningless to format it . One the other hand, if you want to re-use the pendrive after installing Ubuntu, then you might want to wipe the first mega Byte with MKUSB and then format it with gparted.

Select file

Select the ISO file, want to use the Win32 Disk Imager window. Click on the symbol, and get the file selector (in the right bottom corner). The default is to show image (IMG) files. ISO files are a special kind of ' synthetic image files '. They'll be displayed if you select all kinds of files *. * (at 2).

Check Device and Write

You can tick the box at the MD5 hash and check that it matches the value from Ubuntuhashes (instead of using Md5summer).

WARNING

Check very carefully, that's the device (f:in the picture) was really the USB pendrive, that's the want to use. The best method was to has only the intended target USB drive connected to avoid the risk-overwrite a USB hard Disk drive with all the family pictures and video clips!!!

Write

When your is sure, you can click on the Write button to start the process.

Confirm Overwrite alias Final Warning

Progress View

This demo uses a Sandisk cruzer Blade 4 GB as Target drive. It is slow (5 MB/s) but reliable for booting. A USB 3 pendrive in a USB 2 port can is 6 times faster due to faster flash memory. See this link.

Work done:-) Remember to eject the pendrive safely

It's important to flush the buffers, to finish writing before pulling the pendrive. This is do with ' Eject safely '. It is also do at a correct shutdown or reboot.

Good luck and welcome to the Linux world!
