There are many ways to install Ubuntu on a USB flash drive, and the PC is required to support USB boot.
I tried the method on the official website. I started the installation with a 1G U disk (Aigo MP3 USB2.0) and installed the system on a 16G U disk (aData usb3.0. It can be called a dual USB flash drive, or O (portable _ portable) O ~
After installing Ubuntu's 16 GB system USB flash drive, you can not only start it on the Dell desktop, but also get it to the Lenovo notebook. The original hard disk is automatically mounted to the started ubuntu.
Official Website for Ubuntu download:

Step 1: Download Ubuntu and select your desired version. Step 2: start the first show me how
As shown in the following figure:

Download universal-usb-installer-1.8.6.8.exe. If the software is small, you do not need to install it. The version may be updated continuously in the future.
I am using MP3! I don't know if it can be recovered after it is used up. I will try again later.
This step takes about 45 minutes.
Emphasize 1: Shut down and unplug the power and data lines of the hard disk to avoid accidental formatting of the hard disk. More importantly, if you do not unplug the hard disk, it will become a dual-system installation, by default, grub boot will be mounted to the USB flash drive system. If you unplug the USB flash drive, the original system on your hard disk will not start properly.
Restart, insert the prepared USB flash drive into the USB interface, and press F2 into bios as prompted; select the boot path for F12. I press F12 to boot from USB.
After the startup interface (not my figure, I don't know how, no camera ):
Check the prompts. The first one is to try it and then install it. The second is to install it directly...
I am not so embarrassed about the specific installation content. I will provide a blog post: Ubuntu 10.04 graphic installation tutorial, network settings, software source, hard disk installation (ultra-detailed)

As the title says, it is too detailed. The first figure in this blog post should be the first one after installing ubuntu.
However, this article provides a CD-> hard disk, while I am using a USB flash disk-> a USB flash disk, and the hard disk has been unplugged, so I need to emphasize a few points.
Emphasize 2: I do not know whether it is a USB flash drive or other situations. I am not able to select manual partitioning for the first installation of the new 16g USB flash drive; formatting on Windows 7 and Ubuntu won't work either. If you don't have it, reload it again. You can manually partition the second time.
This is not related to the boot disk of the USB flash drive, but the 16 GB large USB flash disk used by the system. The benefits of manually dividing into swap (SWAP partition),/(root directory), And/home are explained in Ubuntu Linux installation mount point. If you don't want to see them, simply do it.
Emphasize 3: Comments from others:

If you re-connect the hard disk after installation, the USB flash disk may conflict with it. It depends on your USB flash drive partition configuration. If you set the LINUX partition as the primary partition, the startup will not be affected. If you set the LINUX partition as a logical partition, You need to disable the hard disk in the motherboard; otherwise, the system cannot start. This may be because when you install Ubuntu on a USB flash drive, your USB flash drive is recognized as hd0 (SDA), and after you connect the hard disk, the hard disk is recognized as hd0 (SDA ), the USB flash disk is recognized as hd1 (SDB), and the Partition Number will change. LST still indicates that your system disk is hd0 (SDA). In this way, the startup program grub cannot find the boot partition and file, and you cannot start Ubuntu in the USB flash disk.
I did not dare to try it out.

This method of using ultraiso to create a USB flash drive should also be suitable for Windows USB flash drive installation. It is worth a try if it is completed in just three minutes.
Recently, wubi installed Ubuntu at a speed similar to that of using a separate partition.
Error 1. There is no disk in the drive. You should go to device management and turn off the card reader. What I turn off is USB large storage.
Error 2. Cannot download the metalibk and therefore the ISO. This is what wubi downloads from the Internet. The CD on the official website is normal when the network is disconnected. If the name is not on the official website, the name should be consistent. I have not changed the name of the DVD.
Wubi installation cannot be manually partitioned.
