hi, i would like some help please. i am trying to install Ubuntu OS in my pc and using balenaEtcher for flashing the software image, the problem i have is that the system drive seems to be hidden and cannot be selected to be flushed and therefore the process of installing Ubuntu cannot be completed, can anyone help me tell me what to do…??
Hi Twenty.
You cannot flash Ubuntu to your running Computer (probably running Windows).
You need to flash the Ubuntu ISO to an USB stick / USB flash drive and boot from that, then use the Ubuntu installer to install Ubuntu.
Cheers
Hello,
I understand that you want to install Ubuntu OS on a PC and @nmaas87 has given you perfectly fine instructions.
Can you explain the details why you want to directly ‘flash’ a system drive with balenaEtcher? Do you face any special requirements that led you to this approach?
Let us know if there are any related balenaEtcher issues.
Best Regards
Harald
