Don’t forget to watch this video in HD. In this video I will show you how to install Ubuntu 12.10 on your USB flash drive. It’s useful if you just want to try it out but you don’t want to install it on your local drive where Windows is. Download links: Universal USB Installer: bit.ly Ubuntu ISO file: bit.ly Keep in mind that it is possible that your USB flash drive is not bootable (because I have had an external hard drive that wasn’t bootable). If it’s not bootable, you will not be able to boot your computer from it. I don’t know if you can run into problems with Windows 8′s secure boot (my computer can’t use it). There may be other problems that keep you from booting your USB drive. Keep in mind that you should use antivirus software. Although you are able to browse your file system with an Ubuntu Live USB, you should keep in mind that a virus can remove the files before you boot up from the USB drive and always backup your system, you won’t be able to get your files back if your SSD/HDD crashes!
