Dear Dr. Syam Sundar, You need to install a package called unetbootin in your system first. Open the application, choose the distro and the version, point it to the iso you have downloaded and to your thumb drive and click install. It will then make your thumb drive bootable and install ubuntu in it. It can also downlad the iso if you eant it to. Hope this helps. Regards, Sasi -- V.
