I have laptop with 512MB ram and 80 GB HDD, dual core 2.0GB Hz speed, 32bit earlier i was using W-XP on this once i have tried to install Win7 and it get all problematic. now have tried to install back Win-Xp but it get hanged in between and shows the message , file not found. hence decided to go for Ubuntu.
I Have already downloaded Ubuntu 14.04 ISO file. I want to know how to install it from USB and if the message of "file not found" reappears, then what to do.
To install the ISO on a USB stick on ubuntu, you can use the startup disk creator as described here.
On windows, you can use the USB installer provided at pendrivelinux.com. You'll find the download here.
Once you have the bootable USB stick, switch off your computer and insert the USB drive. If you switch on the computer, enter the BIOS menu and choose to boot from USB. You normally find a message when booting how to enter BIOS on your system. (Something like 'Press F12 to enter boot menu')
