Note   Note
This program can be downloaded from here UNetbootin .
I'm using version 5.27
Before starting with the turorial make sure that you have inserted a USB in your computer.
This will delete all the data on usb,so before doing this,backup your files.

The current version(5.27) has built-in support for automatically downloading and loading the following distributions:
Code:
This can be created in two parts:
1. Downloading the Distro
2. Selecting an image file with the OS from your hard drive.



PART ONE
Downloading the Distro


1. After you downloaded the program,start it. You'll see the main window of the tool.
