How to install Ubuntu off of USB drive?
I recently started learning to use Linux, specifically Ubuntu. I accidentally used a program incorrectly and locked myself out, so I want to restart it from scratch. The person who originally installed Ubuntu on my computer is unavailable, so I am not sure how they did it. I have put the latest version of Ubuntu on a USB drive using the program found at: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
However, when I start the computer with Ubuntu currently on it, it does not automatically read the USB drive, and when I press F12 to select a boot device it gives me 3 options for USB booting. I have tried all three, but it is as if I just told it to boot normally, it takes me to the desktop and I am still locked out, it does not go through any installation process at all. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong and how to fix it? Thanks.

Computers will not boot usb devices if it contains no boot files. I can only guess you do not have a CD drive and that is why you are using a USB Device for this.

The (ISO) record you downloaded is a wrapper of apersistent image. you should burn/write the contents onto a disk or thumbpersistent utilising software that handles ISO photos, no longer purely reproduction the record to an cutting-edge record equipment on the disk or thumbpersistent. The ISO image incorporates a record equipment including folders, boot sectors and information. So to boot the ISO image, you decide on software to burn it to disk or thumbpersistent. The ISO record continues to be on your hardpersistent, no longer the objective boot disk.

I can't really see what you're doing wrong, that should work. You're 100% sure you've "burned" the image onto the flash drive?
