I found this and thought i would post it here. It`s a utility to install linux of any flavor without the need for a USB or DVD, all you need is the iso if not included in the default list. The url is here: https://unetbootin.github.io
It`s for Windoes-Linux-Mac.
I`m not certain where to post this at so i`m posting here.
Happy Linux ISO.

yo Tok Tok i've used it in the past but less now since to install these days its just a case of getting the right iso and using linux dd command to install to a usb
Also there are bash scripts eg Alien Bobs script usbimg2disk.sh which you can find a link somewhere on https://alien.slackbook.org/blog/

Unetbootin was a good program at one time, but unless it has been fixed, haven't tried it lately, unebootin has problems booting in uefi mode.

There are many utilities and as stated UNetbootin has problems. I do not know of a universal tool that works with all distributions except for maybe the linux dd command. In general I would check the documentation for that particular distribution if available and see what is recommended. Here are several but the the list may not be current.

rufus
multibootusb
Ubuntu startup disk creator
Univeral USB installer
Fedora Media Writer
UNetbootin (with reservations)
dd command (The universal linux USB installer)

Rufus is my go-to program, has always worked for me even through it is a windows program.

mkusb also.

See pendrivelinux.com for more tips

Grinning at the dd post and clueless users going oh no. I meant easy peasy.
With pictures.instead of

sudo fdisk -l
sudo blkid
sudo dd oh no what do do now?

The pendrive linux idea is pretty easy peasy as well Howtogeek site

Thank`s but i need to do a hard installl to disk-nothing live-any recommendations ?

unetbootin does NOT do that.

For that, you "burn" the installationmedium to one USB stick, boot that, then tell the installer to install to another USB stick.
It will succeed, but it won't be a very pleasurable experience - even fast USB sticks are slow compared to internal hds.

Or you could search for "Live USB with persistence" and do some reading.

While I appreciate your switching to Linux and posting on the forums, I must say that most of your questions are answered best by web searches. Please make it a habit to search before posting.

Or just run the live OS and install to the storage from that.
I may be wrong but I thought that the application being mentioned in this thread's OP (Unetbootin) was one of the better ways to create a bootable USB stick for any Linux .iso image? Are there other ways under Windows to create a bootable Linux USB drive?

Interal or external disk? What distro, and details of current system setup? The more information given about what your attempting to do the better someone can help you.

Web searching did not work for me that`s why i`m here, this works for me.

The fact that
a) your problem still isn't very clear and you have posted nothing that would help us understand you
b) you choose to reply only to my side remark, and not to the topic itself
kinda proves that this doesn't work for you either.

You will need to put in some effort, one way or the other.

Debian Net install is one

But not graphical. Not easy peasy for a windows novice coming into linux.
Frugal installs are not graphical except for Puppy Linux that I know of.

AntiX core and frugal installs are not Windows user/ Linux novice friendly either.

For persistent usb. Since you need simple instructions. I'd download this
https://mxlinux.org/

Check md5sum of downloaded MX iso before moving on and installing iso on pendrive with one of the links I provided for Windows in the HowToGeek link I posted in my previous post.

Boot your MX pendrive into the live run. Then surf to what ever your heart desires to run on that persistent usb and download that iso.

Md5sum check that iso also for file corruption. Cuz it happens sometimes with Windows downloaders. Browser downloads stop sometimes for no reason and look complete in the download section of the browser.

Now. You got a good iso. You are running MX live off another pendrive and that iso you down loaded is sitting in that pendrive also.

Follow those links in the MX Linux link I posted to make your persist pendrive.
< Since they are video which is easy peasy >

If a free Windows app does this. I do not know of it. Good luck. My work is done here.

First you need to create "an install disc" as you do with Windows and Unetbootin does just that.
Then, you boot from that and tell it which hard drive to install to.
If you are not comfortable with that then you're probabbly not going to be able to install Linux.
