Ubuntu Linux lets you create a bootable disk that you can use to restore your computer when there’s a problem. For you to create a startup disk, the flash drive must have at least 2GB of storage capacity on it. Any data on the USB flash drive will be erased or lost when you create a startup disk. So, make sure you’re not using a critical flash drive and that you don’t have any useful data on it. To create the disk, you must download an ISO image of the version of Ubuntu Linux you want to install or use to repair your local computer. Below is how to use the Startup Disk Creator tool to create a startup disk in Ubuntu Linux.
