Ubuntu – Make a bootable internal drive to install Ubuntu on current drive

bootboot failurehard driveinstallation

Is it possible to mount/burn Ubuntu 10.10 on a clean Drive, so that I can boot using that drive with the ISO image and install the OS on my other internal drive, while currently being in Try Ubuntu state?

My problems is that the DVD drive is corrupted and does not burn ISO properly; after install the hard drive wont boot. The only way is to use that CD to get my computer running in Try Ubuntu state.

Downloaded the new Ubuntu 10.10 ISO and trying to figure out how to make my 2nd internal hard drive become a bootable device so I can choose from to boot in BIOS.

Best Answer

You can try either making a bootable flash drive or unetbootin.

Unetbootin will run on Windows. When installing the Ubuntu Desktop ISO, choose the free drive as the location to install into, then boot from your drive.
