Maybe it takes a while to create the flash drive, but you know, it's Windows.UNetbootin is a very popular software and so far it does a great job when it comes to creating bootable drives for OS like Ubuntu and other Linux distros. Once the process is finished, our pendrive should work on any computer with BIOS or UEFI, depending on what we have chosen. We can also (recommended) format the pendrive.

If we want, we label the USB, like Ubuntu 19.04.

It is recommended that we choose GPT in 'Partition scheme' and in 'Target system' it will depend on whether we use BIOS or UEFI.The maximum is 5GB in FAT32, which is recommended. We indicate the size that we will give to our persistent hard disk.In 'Boot choice', we choose the ISO we want to use.We execute the downloaded file and accept the warning message.We downloaded Rufus 3.7 beta (the direct link today is this).In the 'Downloads' section, we click on 'Other versions.From a Windows computer, we access this link.As well it is assumed that works with other operating systems. We get an ISO of any Ubuntu / Debian based version.IMPORTANT: Keep in mind that we are going to use a version of Rufus in beta, so we must test it to create a USB with persistent storage of an Ubuntu / Debian installation that is not working because it could present a fault. How to create an Ubuntu / Debian Live USB with persistent storage with Rufus 3.7 or later Next we will explain how to create a Ubuntu / Debian Live USB with persistent storage. Rufus is available only for Windows, but it is an option to consider if other methods fail us. It is also something we can do with mkusb, but any option that adds is welcome. Rufus' new / upcoming feature is something Ubuntu allowed us to do from its bootable disc creation tool until recently. Still available for download, there was also an option that allowed us to create Live USBs with persistent storage, something that now also allows us to do Rufus 3.7, now in beta. It was a very good tool, now discontinued, that allowed us just what its name dictates, create Linux Live USBs.

Many years ago, when I wanted to create a USB with Linux, either to install an operating system or use it in Live mode, I used LiLi USB Creator.
