How to Create a USB Bootable ISO image in Ubuntu

Although the optical disk aint gonna be dead anytime sooner ;-) yet because of the popularity of netbooks or Tablet PC type electronic gadgets and when it comes to installing Ubuntu operating system in on them, USB devices (such as pen drives for instance) is the least expensive and sometimes the only way to perform the installation.

Even if you have an Optical drive, still trying a GNU/Linux liveCD on a USB drive is the best option in my opinion when compared with a original method of burning it into a CD/DVD because there are few advantages.


1. Theyre noiseless!:

Well, if you want the experience the best performance while trying the LiveCD and if youre burning a CD/DVD, then you should go for the maximum amount of Burning speed so the LiveCD/DVD will be able to perform tasks in a much speedier way.

But thatll also make it a bit noisy, dont you think?. But a USB drive is noiseless!.

2. Faster than CD/DVDs (most of the time):

Unless you have a bit older USB stick/pen-drive, most never pen drives have really higher MB output thus youll be experiencing a much more faster LiveCD "experience" in comparison with the CD/DVD method. Although not at its best, this will also help you to get a better idea of the actual (close) performance of the OS it self.

But as said, this might not always be the case since SATA or SSD drives are a hell lot faster than most of the USB drives nonetheless :).

Anyhow, in that sense, if you have already installed Ubuntu in your Netbook for instance, but wondering how to create/burn the recently downloaded never version of the Ubuntu ISO image into your USB disk... did you know that Ubuntu comes pre-installed an application called "Usb-Creator" (which is basically a GTK front-end that uses the "usb-creator" command-line tool) that lets us does exactly that!.

How to Convert USB to Ethernet

Converting a USB connection to an Ethernet connection is the easiest way to make a computer or laptop Ethernet-network ready without having to install an Ethernet card. USB to Ethernet plug-and-play adapters make it possible to convert from USB to Ethernet in a few minutes.
With an Ethernet-ready connection, you can connect to DSL modems, cable modems or network connections and browse the Internet at high speeds. You can also connect to a shared network (such as in an office setting) to share printers and Internet connections, and connect between multiple PCs to share files.
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
Things Youll Need:

    * USB to Ethernet plug-and-play adapter
    * Ethernet cable

      Step 1

      Purchase a plug-and-play USB to Ethernet adapter. Plug and play is recommended, as it will require the least amount of setup time, and you will not need to locate and install additional drivers. Most plug-and-play adapters will come with a CD of drivers in case the computer does not already have them.
      Some examples of plug-and-play USB to Ethernet adapters may be found by clicking the link in the Resources section. As of June 2009, prices range from US$14 to $34, allowing for minor price fluctuations on Amazon.com.

      Step 2

      Turn on the computer and connect the USB end of the adapter, the small end, to an available USB port on the computer.

      Step 3

      Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the adapter and the other end of the Ethernet cable to the router, modem or network hub that you want to connect to.

      Step 4

      Install any drivers, as prompted by the computer. The computer should automatically recognize the device. If you are prompted to insert the CD that may have come with the adapter, insert the CD and follow the on-screen instructions.
      At this point, you have converted the USB port to an Ethernet connection using the adapter and can use this connection for Ethernet-based purposes.

      Step 5

      Go into "Control Panel" and "Network Settings" and configure the network connection to connect to the network to which you have connected the Ethernet cable. These settings may vary, depending on the type of connection (cable, DSL, LAN) and may require additional information from your service provider or network administrator.

4. Next type LIST DISK command and note down the Disk number (ex: Disk 1) of your USB flash drive. In the below screenshot my Flash Drive Disk no is Disk 1.( Disk 0 will be your harddisk )

5. Next type all the below commands one by one. Here I assume that your disk drive no is “Disk 1”.If you have Disk 2 as your USB flash drive then use Disk 2.Refer the above step to confirm it.Make sure that each is completed successfully.Refer the screenshot given below to know possible success messages

SELECT DISK 1

ASSIGN

EXIT

Don’t close the command prompt as we need to execute one more command at the next step. Just minimize it.

6.  Next insert your Windows7/Vista DVD into the optical drive and check the drive letter of the DVD drive. Here my DVD drive letter is "I" and USB drive letter is “J” (open my computer to check this).

7. Maximize the minimized Command Prompt in the 4th step.Type the following command now:

I: CD BOOT and hit enter.Where “I” is my DVD drive letter.( give your DVD drive letter )

CD BOOT and hit enter.
