Installing Ubuntu Without a Cd-Rom Drive

Finding facts on how to setup Ubuntu, an open source computer operating system, to your computer normally talks about burning the Iso to a Cd disk and installing it. For some who have older computers with no cd-rom drive or one of the new netbooks, this factory process is not an option. Luckily there are more than a few ways of installing Ubuntu to the theory without having to burn and use Cds.

The first way works if you have Windows installed on your netbook. There is an application called Wubi (a windows-based Ubuntu Installer) that you will need to download from the internet first. Using this program makes installing Ubuntu as easy as installing any other type of Windows software. This program will basically make Ubuntu a large application file on the Windows side but automatically sets up your machine so that it duel boots. This means that when you turn the computer on you will have an option to boot up in Windows or in Ubuntu.

Netbook Linux

Before Ubuntu is installed you will need to have the drive partitioned. Once Wubi is downloaded and installed, open up the computer application. You will get some basic options like where the Iso file is, your user name and password, and how big of a partition you want the Ubuntu side of the computer to be. Once installed, you will have Ubuntu on your netbook.

If you have a netbook that is Linux only there are still options. One is to make a bootable Usb gadget that has Ubuntu installed on it. You will need to have 1Gb to hold the Ubuntu program with the backup file stored elsewhere due to the partition table being overwritten. If you have a second machine, you can boot up into Ubuntu and use the Usb Startup Disk originator to make a copy of Ubuntu that is installed to the Usb drive.

You have two options with this. You can run Ubuntu off the Usb flash drive and never setup it to the hard drive. The other option is to boot from the Usb and use the setup tool on it to setup the contents of the Usb to the netbook. It might be a good idea to keep this Usb stick on hand in case you need to reload the operating theory on your netbook or setup the program on man else's computer in the future.
