NOTE: Also Like someone above said, depending on your USB Flash drive brand, there is a possibility for it to brick after making it bootable. If you have a windows machine available I just used the Rufus app to make a bootable image. dev/sdb1: DOS/MBR boot sector ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data (DOS/MBR boot sector) 'Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS amd64' (bootable) partition 2 : ID=0xef, start-CHS (0x3ff,254,63), end-CHS (0x3ff,254,63), startsector 14432, 4864 sectorsīooting with secured boot disabled $ sudo umount /dev/sdb1Īnd then using startup disk creator again, and rebooting.Īlso tried wiping the usb with gparted, and creating a new NTFS partition and then using startup creator, no luck. I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytesĭevice Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I've set the BIOS to boot first from USBs:įollowing some threads on ask ubuntu and SO, here's what I've already tried and (hopefully) some relevant info: info This is my second time installing ubuntu on this machine from a flash drive, so I know it "should" work. When I reboot my laptop with the any of the usbs inside, it just boots my current ubuntu installation.

I just bought two sandisk usb sticks, 16gb and 32gb, and used startup disk creator to install 16.04.02 from official site in both of them.
