Trouble trying to make a bootable USB on Rufus

  • 772

I am trying to make a bootable USB drive using Rufus. I downloaded Ubuntu on my laptop. I opened up Rufus and for Boot selection the only options I have are, "Non bootable" "FreeDOS" and "Disk or ISO image (please select)"

What am I doing wrong?

    "(please select)" means you need to click on the SELECT button in Rufus to select the Ubuntu ISO you have downloaded.

    In case this is what you expect, Rufus does not "guess" that you've just downloaded an ISO and that it should use that (since it would require monitoring downloads which would be a huge invasion of privacy). Instead you need to tell Rufus, through the browse dialog that opens after you click SELECT, what ISO you actually want to use.

    Then you should be able to just click START in Rufus.
