STEP 2 : Now select the Ubuntu from the Linux distribution list in step 1. STEP 3 :Now in the second option click on Browse and select the ISO image by browsing the file explorer. STEP 4 : Select the drive letter of your USB  from the drop down menu. Step 5 : In the above picture you can see 1 and 2 are marked you can untick option 1 if you don’t want to format your USB.
