Linux is also a growing computer Operating system available free for download as part of Opensource project. We have been delivering lots of Linux Tips on this blog. Last time the post similar to this was about Creating Windows 7 USB drive from Linux and this time we are talking about creating a Live USB drive to boot Linux from Windows.
We are doing this stuff with the help of a software
LinuxLive USB creator that helps you create portable, bootable and virtualized USB stick running Linux. You can
Download it free from the official website or if you are Ubuntu user then you can download it from Ubuntu Software Center and follow the simple steps below.
The First step is choose your USB key from the list after. But remember your USB drive should be FAT32 or FAT formatted and get the USB drive of size greater than the size of image file.

In the second step, Select the source of your Linux based operating system. It may be ISO/IMG/ZIP file saved inside your hard drive or a CD inserted into your Computer, also you can download it with the help of same software.

Step 3 is an Optional step, Persistence is only required if you have chosen ”Download” option in step 2. Persistence space is need if you want your key to keep downloaded programs and documents in place. So simply proceed to next step.

Step 4 is also optional, leave the settings unchanged and move to next step.

In the fifth step click the lightening icon on the left and start installation.

Congratulations! You are done creating bootable USB key for your another Linux Operating System.
Once the software is successful creating the disk, you will see a new file in your windows explorer which looks like in the screenshot below. Now click the file to boot the linux destro on your computer without actually rebooting the windows.
