  • can u make windows xp bootable from it?

  • sorry for the noob questions :

    1. How do i know my bios support booting via usb?

    Because i think my computer is like 5+ years old and previously i never noticed there is any option of booting through usb drive, and i only had hdd to boot as my dvdrom is a gone case. Should i just give it a try? or is there any option of re-setting my bios to boot from usb?

    2. How do i mirror image my boot file in hdd which was factory set? Im using a dell inspiron 640m

    Many thanks appreciated

  • Or you could just go to ubuntu.com and find the link to the universal usb installer, from there you can download the iso image, format your flash drive, and make it bootable.

  • can i do this with other linux distrubutions

  • Thanks!.

  • when i do the fdisk -l it says that Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table and after that i cant do anything functionally

    please help.

  • "It's a pretty large file

    so it might take a while"

    Who said gigafide can't rap!?

  • @aliffirwan you could update bios

  • @rastderb yes you can

  • THE OS.ZIP FILE IS NOT THERE. )-: If any of you find another link to it, PLEASE reply to this!

  • Nowadays if you want to make a bootable USB flash drive, all you have to do is boot from an Ubuntu Live CD, go into System>Administration>USB Startup Disk Creator. It's that simple.
