sudo umount /dev/sdX
  1. Write the .iso file to the USB device using the following command (replace /dev/sdX and ubuntu.iso with the correct device name and .iso file name, respectively):
 
sudo dd bs=4M if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdX conv=fsync
  1. Once the process is complete, eject the USB device and use it to boot on another machine.
