In order to make the bootable live disk, you must have a flash drive and software to write the Pop!_OS. If the checksum does not match the one on the download page, you may need to re-download your copy of Pop!_OS and ensure it completes downloading before re-verifying it. iso filenames will change over time, so please make sure you are using the correct. For Ubuntu/Pop!_OSĪssuming you downloaded Pop!_OS to your ~/Downloads folder, open the Terminal ( + T on Pop!_OS or Ctrl + Alt + T on Ubuntu) and run the following command: For Intel/AMD isoĬertUtil -hashfile Downloads\pop-os_21.04_amd64_nvidia_7.iso sha256 This ensures that you've received the full, complete download and that it is not corrupted. Verifying your download is an important step: we generate a "checksum" for Pop!_OS images and recommend that you verify that your download matches that checksum before trying to install. You can download Pop!_OS here or Ubuntu 20.04 here.
This is a disk image with the operating system and installer on it.
In order to install Pop!_OS or Ubuntu, you must first download the.
You can run a full version of Pop!_OS or Ubuntu from a USB drive (often known as a thumb drive, flash drive, or USB stick) in what's known as a live environment.
Reverse if/of next time you want to put the Windows 7 installer onto USB.Pop!_OS and Ubuntu are remarkably flexible. I tried it running Ubuntu 16.04 copying Win10_1703_SingleLang_English_圆4.iso (size 4,241,291,264 bytes) onto an 8 GB USB-stick - in non-UEFI boot only. The method creating a bootable USB presented above works also with Win10 installer iso. Thus for example with 8 M extra bytes: # dd count=$(((`stat -c '%s' win7.iso` + 8*1024*1024) / 512)) if=/dev/sdb of=win7.img status=progressĪs always, double check the device names very carefully when working with dd. So instead I propose # dd count= if=/dev/sdb of=win7.img Note, this copies the whole device! - which is usually (much) bigger than the files copied to it. Check the boot checkbox, then close.Īfter all that, you probably want to back up your USB media for further installations and get rid of the ISO file. Open gparted, select the USB drive, right-click on the file system, then click on "Manage Flags". or use the standard GUI file-browser of your systemĬall sync to make sure all files are written. Mount ISO and USB media: # mount -o loop win7.iso /mnt/iso or (if syslinux is installed), you can run sudo dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdb.on newer Ubuntu installs) sudo lilo -M /dev/sdb mbr ( info) Write Windows 7 MBR on the USB stick (also works for windows 8), multiple options here: # cfdisk /dev/sdb or fdisk /dev/sdb (partition type 7, and bootable flag) Delete all partitions, create a new one taking up all the space, set type to NTFS (7), and remember to set it bootable: Grub is installed there!)Ĭheck what device your USB media is assigned - here we will assume it is /dev/sdb. Or alternatively, make sure lilo is installed (but do not run the liloconfig step on your local box if e.g. Install ms-sys - if it is not in your repositories, get it here. This works with the Windows 7 retail version. Basically, the missing step was to write a proper boot sector to the USB stick, which can be done from Linux with ms-sys or lilo -M. OK, after unsuccessfully trying all methods mentioned here, I finally got it working.
