How to create a usb bootable OS

hey guys you must have been thinking of using a linux or other OS. but were scared of partitioning your hard disk or fed up of low speed live cds.

Bingo! i have a solution that solves both of these problems

we will boot our other OS from pendrive.NICE right!

here i will show you how to do it.

first you need to install a software named unetbootin-windows. you can download it from#mce_temp_url#

then you need to click on the selected file

in the bottom select the usb drive.in my computer its G:\ drive.

when the setup is complete it will prompt you to reboot.

during reboot or when computer restarts type F12 or watever key that is assigned in your computer for entering boot menu.In boot menu go and change the boot sequence .

previously it should be like hard disk>cd-rom>usb device.........!

u need to change it to usb device>hard-disk>cd-rom......! this can be done by + or  -  sign.

when its done you are ready to go :)

restart and you have your own working portable OS .

The most important advantage its has over live cds is that it is portable and being a solid stage storage device much faster too :))

this window will ask for the name of virtual machine and the type of os..here in my case the os is fedora which is a linux distribution.after you are done dere a new window pops out.

[caption id="attachment_12" align="alignnone" width="614" caption="ram memory allocation"][/caption]

This step is very crucial, here you allot the ram of the virtual machine you are creating , its just like the ram of your computer.you can go till the maximum line till the green is there.minimum ram should be 512mb for it to work properly.




[caption id="attachment_13" align="alignnone" width="614" caption="create new hard disk window"][/caption]

this windows lets you create a new hard disk..the minimum memory of the new VM is 10 gb. click on it and proceed.

Any doubts regarding the post should be addressed in the comments.
nice....try this and others......as generaaly.......while installin ubuntu.....if care nt taken...it corrupts the grub loader.....of ur operating system.....once even i had wid my vista.....

it happened to me too :P but this happens only when u try to remove the linux distribution by formatting that drive in windows.then what it does either your grub loader is currupted or deleted.
so inorder to replace that linux try to replace it with other distribution.
and my suggestion use a pendrive.
the details to use it are given on my post :)
