How to boot from USB

[PavilionExpert]

Hi all.

Before i do anything, i am going to install the free Ububtu OS from their web replacing windows.

So:

1. Will my games work on Ubuntu?

they are:
Ship Sim 2008
GTA IV
UK Truck Simulator
Spore

2. If so, How to I boot from my USB that I downloaded the files to?

Thanks


[EDIT] Actually, i have found that you can install it alongside windows so i can run either of them. So would that be ok with my dv6000 specs?

You could always move this to the Linux thread as it is regarding ubuntu..
but as a linux user-in short
You can use unetbootin UNetbootin - Homepage and Downloads to make a bootable usb and install ubuntu off of there..quite a simple process

some also prefer this: Boot and run Linux from a USB flash memory stick | USB Pen Drive Linux


yes with your specs you can definitely dual boot windows and Linux...
You can always partition your Hard drive for linux space..
