Introduction
UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu,
Fedora, and other Linux distributions without burning a CD. It runs on
both Windows and Linux. You can either let UNetbootin download one
of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply
your own Linux .iso file if you've already downloaded one or your
preferred distribution isn't on the list.
Requirements
•
Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, or Linux.
•
Internet access for downloading a distribution to install, or a
pre-downloaded ISO file
Features
UNetbootin can create a bootable Live USB drive, or it can make a
"frugal install" on your local hard disk if you don't have a USB drive. It
loads distributions either by downloading a ISO (CD image) files for
you, or by using an ISO file you've already downloaded.
The current version has built-in support for automatically
downloading and loading the following distributions, though installing
other distributions is also supported:

including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Parted Magic, a partition manager that can resize, repair,

Installation & Screenshots
1. If using Windows, run the file, select an ISO file or a distribution
to download, select a target drive (USB Drive or Hard Disk),
then reboot once done.
2. If using Linux, make the file executable (using either the
command chmod +x ./unetbootin-linux, or going to
Properties->Permissions and checking "Execute"), then start
the application, you will be prompted for your password to grant
the application administrative rights, then the main dialog will
appear, where you select a distribution and install target (USB
Drive or Hard Disk), then reboot when prompted.
3. After rebooting, if you created a Live USB drive by selecting
"USB Drive" as your install target, press the appropriate button
(usually F1, F2, F12, ESC, or backspace) while your computer is
starting up to get to your BIOS boot menu and select USB drive
as the startup target; otherwise if there's no boot selection
option, go to the BIOS setup menu and change the startup
order to boot USB by default. Otherwise, if you did a "frugal
install" by selecting "Hard Disk" as your install target, select the
UNetbootin entry from the Windows Boot Menu as the system
boots up.
» See Live USB Creation Guide.
Removal Instructions (Applicable only to Hard Disk / "frugal
installs")
If using Windows, UNetbootin should prompt you to remove it the
next time you boot into Windows. Alternatively, you can remove it via
Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.
If using Linux, re-run the UNetbootin executable (with root
priveledges), and press OK when prompted to uninstall.
Removal is only required if you used the "Hard Drive" installation
mode; to remove the bootloader from a USB drive, back up its
contents and reformat it.
Uninstalling UNetbootin simply removes the UNetbootin entry from
your boot menu; if you installed an operating system to a partition
using UNetbootin, removing UNetbootin will not remove the OS.
To manually remove a Linux installation, you will have to restore the
Windows bootloader using "fixmbr" from a recovery CD, and use
Parted Magic to delete the Linux partition and expand the Windows
partition.
Installing Other Distributions Using UNetbootin
Download and run UNetbootin, then select the "disk image" option
and supply it with an ISO (CD image).
UNetbootin doesn't use distribution-specific rules for making your live
USB drive, so most Linux ISO files should load correctly using this
option. However, not all distributions support booting from USB, and
some others require extra boot options or other modifications before
they can boot from USB drives, so these ISO files will not work as-is.
Also, ISO files for non-Linux operating systems have a different boot
mechanism, so don't expect them to work either.
What translations are available, and how can I use them?
A number of translations are included in the latest UNetbootin release.
See the Translations Page for the status of each.
If a translation corresponding to your system's native language has
already been included into UNetbootin, it should automatically load
the corresponding translation. Alternatively, you can force the
language to use via the lang=es command-line option, where you
substitute es with the the 2-letter ISO 639-1 code for your language.
If you'd like to contribute a translation, please use Launchpad
Translations. If you are new to Launchpad, you will first have to join
the corresponding Ubuntu Translators group for the language you
intend to translate. For information on using the Launchpad
Translations system, see the translations help page.

FAQs
How does UNetbootin work, and what does it do?
For the Live USB creation mode, UNetbootin downloads and extracts
an ISO file to your USB drive, generates an appropriate syslinux
config file, and makes your USB drive bootable using syslinux.
For the Hard Disk / "frugal install" mode, UNetbootin uses a Windows
or Linux-based installer to install a small modification to the
bootloader (bootmgr and bcdedit on Vista, grldr and for
NT-based systems, and for Win9x, or GRUB on
Linux, uses the bootloader to boot the desired distribution's installer
or to load the system utility, no CD required. After the distribution has
been installed, or once done using the system utility, the modification
to the bootloader is then undone.

» See How UNetbootin Works.
Does it have any spyware, viruses, trojans, or other malware?
No; though some anti-virus products (Kaspersky) raise
"c" warnings due to the auto-uninstall feature, these are
false positives. Just make sure you obtain UNetbootin from the official
downloads page on Sourceforge not some shady third-party source. If
you're absolutely paranoid, you can check the source code and
compile it yourself.
What is it written in, where's the source code, and how can I
compile it?
UNetbootin is written in C++, using the Qt4 toolkit. Source code is
available from the source zip package, or from the git repository on
Sourceforge, or the bzr repository on Launchpad. The Linux version is
compiled using g++, while the Windows version is cross-compiled
using mingw32. Both use a statically linked version of qt4 (to
eliminate external library dependencies). Executables are
compressed using UPX to reduce file size.
» See Compiling UNetbootin.
How can I get my distribution supported by UNetbootin?
First, try loading the ISO file via the diskimage option, and see if that
works (because UNetbootin doesn't use distribution-specific rules for
creating live USB drives, it should be able to load most Linux ISOs
as-is). If the resulting live USB doesn't boot correctly, check your
distribution's documentation, and verify that it indeed can be booted
from a standard (FAT32-formatted) USB drive. Also ensure that it
doesn't need any extra boot options or other modifications to boot
from a USB drive. If both of these are correct, you may have found a
bug, so file a bug report.
If your distribution's ISO file can already be loaded correctly via the
diskimage option, and are trying to get it added to the list of
distributions which UNetbootin can download for you, file a bug report
and provide a link to the latest release.
How can I create specialized, rebranded, distro-specific
releases?

UNetbootin can easily be rebranded and adapted to a specific
distribution using either a plugin system, or a series of #define
statements, as seen in the unetbootin.h file within the source code. If
you are attempting to build a distro-specific version and need
additional instructions and details, would like to have your patches
merged upstream, or would like to have your custom version added to
this list, please file a bug report.

How can I automate the use of UNetbootin from a script?
» See UNetbootin Command Line Options.
Where can I report bugs, request new features, get help, etc?
If you encounter errors with UNetbootin itself, first try using the
version available on this website if you obtained it from a different
source (your version may be outdated). If the problem still persists,
take note of the version of UNetbootin you're using (it's in the
filename if you downloaded it from here), the ISO file you're installing
or the distribution you're letting UNetbootin download for you, and the
OS you're on (like "Windows 7, 64-bit" or "Ubuntu 10.04, 32-bit"),
and ask a question or file a bug report, mentioning the above details.
You can also see the Ubuntu Forums (the LiveUSB installation thread
or Hard disk installation thread depending on your install mode), or
the forum on Boot Land, but only Launchpad (bugs and answers), not
the forums, are monitored by developers. However, if it's a
distribution or hardware-specific issue, file a bug report against the
distribution itself.
