You need to burn a disk containing Ubuntu. go out to the drug store and buy a pack of five blank DVDR disks. on your computer : download the latest version of Ubuntu : from here : http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current windows : go to http://imgburn.com and download the program insert one of the blank DVDs from the pack you bought at the drug store. find your Ubuntu ISO, right click on it, and select "burn using img burn". uncheck the "verify" box change "aws" to "2x" click write wait for the disk to finish burning boot from it mac : go to utilities > disk utility insert one of your blank disks click the "burn" button find your iso click burn wait for burn to complete boot from your disk linux : open a terminal insert one of your blank disks in the terminal, enter sudo wodim /path/to/your/ubuntu.iso and enter your password when prompted. When your prompt returns, boot from your disk. When you hear the drum sound, click your language, and then click the "install ubuntu" button. click through the prompts, until at the "this computer currently contains ___" where ___ is your current operating system. Click the "erase ____ and install Ubuntu" option, and then click continue. Keep on following prompts until your install completes, then remove the disk and click reboot.
You can't create a bootable USB Drive when you copy the Data from the Disk. This won't make the USB Drive bootable.
You have several possibilities:
Or just burn the ISO on a CD an install from it.
