What is UNetbootin?
UNetbootin prepares bootable Live USB drives for Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Fedora. On Windows, it offers two starting points: select a distribution from its built-in list, or choose a Linux ISO file already on your computer. You then select the target drive. The publisher also documents a Hard Disk mode that adds a UNetbootin entry to the Windows boot menu.
It is not a general-purpose Windows installation-media creator. The publisher warns that non-Linux ISO files use a different boot mechanism and should not be expected to work. Even a Linux ISO may need extra boot options or modifications, and some distributions do not support USB booting. If a built-in distribution download fails, the documented alternative is to obtain the ISO from that distribution's website and select it with the Diskimage option.
The linked Windows executable is release 702. The screenshot is a historical publisher image illustrating the distribution selector and USB-drive controls; its old distribution entries are not a promise of current image availability. Specific Windows-version and processor-architecture support are not established by the cited homepage.
What it offers
- Create bootable Live USB media for supported Linux distributions.
- Select a distribution for UNetbootin to download or provide a local Linux ISO through Diskimage.
- Choose a USB Drive target; the publisher also documents a separate Hard Disk install mode.
- Load supported system utilities as well as Linux distributions.
Good to know
- Non-Linux ISO files use a different boot mechanism; do not expect this tool to create Windows installation media.
- Not every Linux ISO works as-is: some distributions lack USB boot support or require extra boot options or modifications.
- Built-in distribution downloads can fail; the publisher recommends supplying an ISO obtained directly from the distribution instead.
